Welcome to the newest version of Missed Fists the place we shine a lightweight on fights from throughout the globe that will have been neglected in these hectic instances the place it looks like there’s an MMA present each different day.
You recognize what I used to be simply pondering the opposite day? It’s been too lengthy since we noticed a fighter lose by – because it’s formally written within the guidelines – “TKO attributable to medical stoppage.” I do know you all had the identical thought.
No?
Nicely. Too dangerous.

Chris Quiroz vs. Jahir Ramos
To not overanalyze this regrettable second, however of all of the MMA pukings I’ve seen in my day (which is much, far too many) this must be the closest I’ve come to seeing a fighter barf on his opponent.
Credit score to Jahir Ramos to holding it in, but when he’d been caught in that place for just a few seconds longer, that might have gone a lot worse.
It’s no thriller what triggered Ramos to lose his lunch right here as Chris Quiroz caught him clear with 5 toes to the stomach. You’ll be able to inform Ramos instantly is aware of one thing was flawed as he freezes up earlier than turning barely away from his opponent. Quiroz then geese in for a takedown, driving his shoulder into Ramos’ midsection, and we see Ramos’ cheeks puff up in threatening style.
After which: BLAAAAAAAAGGGGH
I’m undecided Ramos was executed both, as a result of he makes a hasty exit from the cage, more likely to proceed his enterprise elsewhere.
Quiroz, a 29-year-old bantamweight prospect, improved to 4-1 with a knockout win he probably received’t ever overlook. As for Ramos (2-2), this might sound dangerous now, however hey, Paddy Pimblett once puked his guts out after one of many extra lackluster efforts of his pre-fight UFC profession, and he is likely to be preventing Ilia Topuria for the light-weight title subsequent.

Abdurakhman Nasrutdinov vs. Imram Magaramov
Caio Machado vs. Kevin Oumar
Kazbek Saidaliev vs. Ronny Markes
Amir Hossein Alipour vs. Abdelkrim Zouad
Omran Chaaban vs. Wellington Madeira
UAE Warriors held a pair of occasions in Abu Dhabi this week (each obtainable on UFC Fight Pass) to capitalize on the UFC’s return to the nation’s capital and it featured much more finishes the place I feared a fighter may vomit (they don’t, proceed freely).
Ullubiy Amirzhanov caught Ravshan Boymirzoev with a physique kick that doubled him over and happily, the referee was fast to step in for the save there.
Not so lucky was Imram Magaramov, whose insides have been changed into a wonderful powder by Abdurakhman Nasrutdinov’s relentless ground-and-pound.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen somebody on their again knocked stiff like that by physique photographs.
This subsequent clip isn’t strictly a physique shot KO, it’s truly worse as a result of former UFC fighter Caio Machado needed to throw in a flying knee for good measure.
Caio Machado delivers a first-round KO/TKO that followers received’t overlook! He overwhelms Kevin Oumar with uncooked energy and precision a efficiency to recollect and a message to the division! ⚡

Talking of former UFC fighters, it was a nasty night time for veteran Ronny Markes, who was on the flawed finish of an intercept knee from Kazbek Saidaliev.
Instantaneous nap.
That may not have even been the roughest fall of the night as Amir Hossein Alipour landed a two-punch mixture that made Abdelkrim Zouad go timbeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr all the way in which right down to the canvas.
And final however not least from UAE Warriors, you realize I’ve to point out like to my Final Fighter alums. Right here’s Season 32 contestant Omran Chaaban doing his personal model of tree-chopping as he destroyed Wellington Madeira with leg kicks.
Chaaban (9-1) misplaced to eventual TUF 32 winner Ryan Loder within the semifinals of that season’s middleweight match, however he’s 3-0 since then after dropping again right down to 170 kilos and is nearly assured to get one other crack on the UFC in some unspecified time in the future.
Gerardo Correa vs. Carlos Landeros
Given all of the brutality we’ve reviewed thus far, this head kick from Gerardo Correa appears quaint as compared.
From Jasaji Preventing League 53 (free replay obtainable on YouTube):
That’s a cute flick of a kick. Carlos Landeros most likely doesn’t really feel the identical method because the strike made him go Full Matua as quickly because it landed and that’s by no means good.
Alibi Idris vs. Roybert Echeverria
Oh, you thought the TUF discuss was executed? NEVER.
This week’s TUF 33 episode featured the first flyweight semifinal bout between Kazakhstan’s Alibi Idris and Mexico’s Robert Echeverria (beforehand featured in Missed Fists for his own spectacular work) and Idris superior with a candy leaping knee knockout.
Excellent timing on that end of one more stable battle this season. Watch TUF!
