The top of the UFC 175 pay-per-view was stacked with two championship fights featuring the organization’s lone undefeated titleholders. When the event from Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center came to a conclusion, both of those champions kept their perfect records intact as Chris Weidman (12-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) outpointed Lyoto Machida (21-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) over five rounds to retain his middleweight championship while Ronda Rousey (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) made extremely quick work of Alexis Davis (16-6 MMA, 3-1 UFC) to keep a firm grip on her women’s bantamweight championship.

LAS VEGAS – After a quick loss in his pro octagon debut, “The Ultimate Fighter 7″ veteran Luke Zachrich dominated “TUF: Brazil 3″ vet Guilherme Vasconcelos (3-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with sharp striking skills. Zachrich swept Vasconcelos on two of three judges scorecards and picked up a unanimous decision to earn his first UFC win. The middleweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC 175 event at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. It streamed on UFC Fight Pass ahead of additional prelims on FOX Sports 1 and a main card on pay-per-view. Zachrich took an early lead in the first frame by staying active with his fists and cutting angles on Vasconcelos, who pressed forward, but was slow to engage and frequently missed on the counter. Vasconcelos continued to advance in the second and took a stiff right cross.
