It was submission that led the way in the main event, however, with Mackenzie Dern (15-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) putting on one of her career-best performances en route to a third-round submission finish of Amanda Ribas (12-6 MMA, 7-5 UFC) in their strawweight main event rematch at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Dern was one of several names to leave an imprint on the record books. For more on the numbers, check below for MMA Junkie’s post-event facts from UFC Fight Night 249. * * * *

Cesar Almeida wants UFC-ranked opponent after ultra-violent knockout

BAD MMA News — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 18:52:48 +0000

LAS VEGAS – Eleven days into 2025, predictions were already being made that Cesar Almeida ’s UFC Fight Night 249 finish of Abdul Razak Alhassan could end up on the Knockout of the Year candidates list in a little less than 12 months. Almeida (7-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) violently stiffened Alhassan (12-7 MMA, 6-7 UFC) , who struggled to regain full consciousness for an elongated period of time Saturday at the UFC Apex. An established kickboxer prior to his MMA transition, Almeida thinks Saturday’s finish ranks atop his personal-best list. “This is the best (knockout) of my life,” Almeida told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. The UFC brass was also impressed with Almeida’s handiwork. He won a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus for the knockout, an admittedly emotional feat.
