Namajunas looked like the quicker fighter early, practically bouncing on her feet. Silva fired a number of kicks, all of which missed. Through the first minute, little if anything either fighter had thrown actually landed. Silva nearly landed a shot clean off a caught kick, with Rose just pulling free in the nick of time. Namajunas then fired a kick of her own up high, which also missed.

For years Bud Crawford's name has been synonymous with patience. Denied mainstream recognition and opportunities against name-brand fighters, he kept beating everyone they put in front of him until he'd unified all four titles at junior welterweight. Then he did it again at welterweight with a dismantling of Errol Spence Jr so complete it cemented his place in boxing's pound-for-pound S-tier alongside Naoya Inoue and Oleksandr Usyk.

I dropped him, I dominated him, I got hit six times, I can tell you every shot he hit me with. It was not a close fight, and like I said the expectation was very high for me to have a finish.

Paul's victory against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. marks a significant step in his journey to become a world champion, showcasing his evolving skills in the ring.

The physical differences between UFC featherweights Dan Ige and Sean Woodson were very apparent at UFC 314, with Ige fighting to avoid a 3-fight losing streak.
