BETTING PREVIEW SCULPTURE REPORT | TESTS: Clark (-155), Stoliarenko (+135)
Round 1
Finally, UFC 276 arrives. This one on paper could be one for the ages, and wrestling fans inside Las Vegas ’T-Mobile Arena and those looking at its various screens around the world should be prepared for what’s to come. An impressive number of ranked wrestlers and very relevant clashes will take center stage throughout the night, although we start in the bantamweight division between two women that could be a long way from a ranked spot. Clark (11-7, 1 NC; 4-3 UFC), who will try to make Stoliarenko (9-6-2, 0-4 UFC) the first woman in UFC history, will soon be on the board. Australia. to go 0-5 in five games. Whether or not this unfortunate historical case occurs, referee Chris Tognoni is ready and ready to begin. The ladies don’t touch gloves to get things started, and we’re on our way! Clark starts with a kick to the leg, and she throws a right hand to keep him from hooking Stoliarenko and dropping her to one knee. Stoliarenko meets and approaches, and confronts to make a demolition. The Lithuanian plants her opponent on the carpet, and as soon as she touches the ground, she changes to take control of the side in a hurry. The bracelet specialist immediately goes to look for her best weapon, and she approaches the other side to close it. Clark climbs up, his arm still trapped, though he manages to roll to his knees. This is the worst thing he can do, as Stoliarenko operates his arm with all his might. The great pair of submission spins Clark, and he is so overwhelmingly strong that Clark’s elbow bends and heads in the wrong direction. With unbearable pain, Clark plays frantically, and Tognoni recognizes that touch and a blow simultaneously to stop the fight. Clark moans in agony when the fight is over, with his elbow completely bent in the wrong direction, and his team attends to his injury which he hopes will be a dislocation and not a clean break. If this intense result is an indication of what is to come, stick to it.

Round 1
This upcoming playoff with relevance in the top 10 in the women’s flyweight division may be a bit of a torch-passing confrontation. Soon to turn 36 and with a three-fight skid, Eye (15-10, 1 NC; 5-9, 1 NC UFC) has a great need to win. On the other hand, “The Future” Barber (10-2, 5-2 UFC) enters his pair with a streak of wins. The charge for this 125-pound contest is referee Jason Herzog, and the women don’t bother to touch them before throwing them. The eye slides out with his right hand, but it is Barber who lands first with one before moving on to a clinch. Barber starts sending spam to her knees until the Eye turns her and pushes her up against the wall. Barber drives a solid knee to the sternum, but doesn’t take his eyes off it. The eye grinds hard on the younger woman, looking for some low travel from time to time before letting go of a knee. Barber responds with some of his own, and Eye growls after absorbing one. “Evil Eye” continues to press, but finds himself fighting a mishap that Barber organizes. From close range, Barber frames with his elbow and hits his eye in the face, giving him enough room to push and mark a solid knee. Barber turns his eye to push her back against the wall and nail her with another elbow. Barber seeks his own demolition, but gives up on it to throw himself on his elbows. Eye responds with a couple of short shots inside, but Barber’s elbow is the group’s most effective blow. “The Future” hits his elbows in Eye’s face, producing a large swelling in his right eyebrow due to the repeated blows unlocked. Barber doesn’t let her off the hook with short, vicious elbows, and points fearlessly at the mouse growing above Eye’s eye. The Eye grabs him by the position, but Barber is the one who lands, with his knees and elbows drowning the Eye on most fronts. Barber walks away with a few seconds left, and Eye pulls away while the horn sounds.

Round 2
The fly weights are a bit cautious when it comes to hooking up to start the second round, until Barber intervenes with a right hand to get Eye’s attention. Eye gathers her wits and tries to tie up Barber, and Barber finds herself fighting a two-legged elimination entry. The younger woman stays upright despite Eye’s grips and attempts to hook up, and Eye holds on but doesn’t hit. Eye doesn’t get a trip, and Barber turns her around and shoots her knee high. The Eye can’t arrange a trip when he has his back to the wall, all the while taking Barber’s fire. Barber scores an elbow and a knee to break, and Eye changes level to crash forward and try to catch Barber approaching her. When he does, the crowd boos at Eye from the heart, as he is not thrilled by Eye’s lack of offense. The eye is removed from numerous elbows inside and they return to the kickboxing field in the center of the cage. “Evil Eye” sinks at the wrong time and is pierced with a head kick, but instead of going down, it advances into a elimination entry. The unbalanced barber is dragged to the ground for the first time, and the Eye immediately makes a half guard to keep the younger woman down. The eye bites her own elbow into Barber’s face when she’s on top, and she comes out sporadically to keep herself busy enough not to stand up. Barber grabs her back to the wall, and the Eye clings to her and seeks to get in or out Barber. The veteran manages to move from side control to half guard as she pulls Barber’s back away from the cage, and begins to elbow her side repeatedly. The round ends in this position.

Round 3
The fly weights are in the middle to face off, and Eye stands up with his right hand as he gets a kick in the face. Her eye pops out and blocks a back head blow, and she walks down a low kick as she tries to close the distance. Barber looks for the kick in the head and escapes when Eye chases her with a combination of short punches. Eye scores a single right hand in an exchange and Barber makes a shot to throw a kick to the head that hits Eye’s skull. Barber follows him with a right hand, and a stunned eye must take a moment to recover. The eye hits a swaying Barber, who throws a left hand at her, to shoot at a rubble. Barber lifts it and pulls it back, but the Eye scores a good right to the break. Barber points the kick in the head at her opponent again, and when that blocks, Barber mixes things up with one leg on the other. “Evil Eye” charges for the elimination chase, and Barber responds to that advance with a bottle elbow dropping Eye’s head back. The eye is forced to restart after the strike, and comes out swinging and catches Barber. The young woman is not bewildered, and scores a right and then follows him with a front kick and a high kick from the leg that hits Eye in the face. The eye throws punches to keep the Barber honest, but the Barber splits the guard with two clean front kicks. His eye shrugs to turn right toward his enemy, and Barber pulls away and straight to his right hand. The eye crashes forward and may have collided with his opponent, and Barber blinks at him and puts his knees to his face. Eye gathers his thoughts and climbs up to the clinch, where he keeps Barber nailed to the wall for a few seconds, but he can’t keep her there. Barber lets go with a right hand that marks Eye blushing and hurts his left eye, and Eye goes after a desperate elimination. Barber fills it and punishes Eye for kneeling with a group of hammer fists, until Eye stands up and pushes Barber against the wall. The crowd sings “Maycee” as Barber lets go with short elbows inside, and she connects with a few more until the final bell rings in the arena. Fly weights are embraced after their 15 minutes of battle. When it all comes to an end, the Eye removes the tape from his gloves and places them on the floor of the Octagon. In her post-fight interview, Eye implores commentator Joe Rogan to take her to her podcast, and officially ends her career.

Round 1
A fascinating stylistic clash, perhaps the clearest example of a striker against a grappler, concludes the first preliminary part of the card, with a fight that in any other card would at least be on the main card if not on the brand itself. The feel of “The Ultimate Fighter” Hall (17-10, 10-8 UFC) will seek to make good use of your hands and feet against master presentation artist Muniz (22-4, 4-0 UFC) , with the latter mounting the momentum. of three straight arms. Can the Brazilian tie the UFC record four, held by Demetrious Johnson? Like referee Herb Dean, we’ll know very soon. The middleweights, like tonight’s previous fighters, don’t wear gloves to start the game. Muniz starts with a high kick, and Hall comes out of the air with contempt. Muniz attacks with one in the body, and Hall cannot protect …
