UFC Freedom 250 Non Title Fights

Fans saw the ‘Suga Show’ at UFC Freedom 250, where Sean O’Malley stopped Aiemann Zahabi’s seven-fight winning streak. Zahabi kept attacking ‘Suga’s’ leg, but the former bantamweight champion only aimed for a knockout. And he did just that, defeating the Canadian fighter via KO (strikes) in Round 2.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Josh Hokit backed up his trash talking with his performance. He continued his rapid rise through the heavyweight ranks with the biggest win of his career, stopping Derrick Lewis in the second round at UFC Freedom 250. He first tried an arm-triangle choke in the first round, but the bell saved Lewis. However, in the second round, Hokit landed a barrage of strikes and won the fight via TKO.


Mauricio Ruffy’s punches and spinning kicks were piercing Michael Chandler’s guard. Ruffy remained patient early, taking his time to make reads and find his rhythm. The 29-year-old perfectly picked his shots and connected with well-timed strikes. In the end, Ruffy defeated Chandler via TKO (strikes) at 4:29 of Round 1.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Bo Nickal delivered enough to enter the top 15 in the middleweight division. Nickal picked up the biggest win of his UFC career at UFC Freedom 250, stopping Kyle Daukaus late in the opening round. The 30-year-old took Daukaus down early in the round, but as there was no action on the ground, the referee stood them up.

As the fight resumed on the feet, Nickal landed a good front kick and a right hook, followed by a crushing left hand that dropped Daukaus. A barrage of elbows and punches forced the stoppage at 4:34 of Round 1. This was one of the most brutal knockouts on the card.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Lopes pulled off a massive win against Garcia, knocking him out at 2:42 of Round 2. During the first round, the 34-year-old looked sharp early and appeared to be in control for much of the fight. However, the Brazilian star was also connecting his shots in between. During a wild exchange in the second round, the 31-year-old connected big and put the lights out on Garcia.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
