UFC 298 ‘Volkanovski vs. Topuria’ Play-by-Play, Results & Round Scoring

Round 1

The fans are out in Anaheim, California, where they will soon pack
the Honda Center to watch a fight card that was built to last.
After an odd weigh-in day switch of opponent, 12 bouts remain on
the lineup of UFC 298. The show begins at the women’s flyweight
division between two vets that swam in the same pool but somehow
never met until now. North of 35 years of age now, Lee (13-8, 5-6
UFC) wants to get back in the win column after three straight
setbacks and thereby get her UFC record back to .500. Standing in
her way will be Elevation Fight Team’s Maverick (12-5, 5-3 UFC),
who comes into this pairing with substantially more momentum on her
side. Drawing the first assignment of the evening will be referee
Frank Trigg, and he clocks the ladies in when they decide to touch
gloves. Maverick slowly moves forward and starts off with a low
kick, and she backs away when Lee attempts to counter with punches
up top. Maverick jabs the body and evades a low kick coming back
her direction so that she can spring forward and kick Lee’s lead
wheel. Maverick rushes in, ducking a punch and grabbing hold of Lee
in pursuit of a body lock, but the ensuing scramble results on Lee
posting off the ground until she is dragged to her seat. Lee
reverses the position and puts Maverick on her back, but Maverick
is quick to fight her way back up. Lee takes a page out of the
playbook of Brock Lesnar by taking Maverick to Suplex City, and
Maverick’s head clatters off the ground but she is no worse for
wear. The two women work their way back to their feet, and Maverick
flicks out a left hand that reddens Lee’s nose. They trade low
kicks, and Lee plants a shin on Maverick’s ribcage. Maverick
catches a second such kick and rips the body with a left hand
before setting the limb down. Maverick surges forward confidently
to wing a left hook over the top, forcing “KGB” to blink it out and
reset. Maverick pushes off with a kick to the chest, and she
measures another body kick and gets out of range from the counter
kick from Lee. Maverick jumps straight ahead winging two hooks, and
Lee is barely able to escape in time. Maverick sinks in another
left hand and has a foot skim over Lee’s hair before firing off a
kick from the other leg that is blocked. Lee tries to throw two
high kicks back, and Maverick leans back and retaliates by crashing
the pocket for an awkward takedown attempt. Maverick succeeds in
tackling Lee to the ground with her arm around Lee’s head, and she
lands a few shots on top before the horn sounds.

Round 2

The flyweights meet in the middle to touch hands, and they get
right back to kick one another from a distance. Maverick dips down
with a jab to the body and comes up with a left up top to follow.
Lee brings a quick foot up to the face, and Maverick blocks it by a
whisker and goes back to the body with her shin. Maverick kiais to
draw a reaction, and she times a punch and a few kicks after it.
Maverick looks to punch her way into a possible level change, but
“KGB” sees it coming and backs her away with three jabs and a front
kick. Lee doubles up jabs, and Maverick pushes through them in
pursuit of a takedown. Before she can get hold of a leg, the two
bang into the cage, and Maverick gets a trip and plants the
Louisiana native on her back. Maverick lands right in half guard
and starts opening up with ground-and-pound slowly and
methodically. Lee drags her back to the guard, and she muscles her
way back up to her feet by sliding out the back and flipping over
the top strangely. They resume striking in kickboxing range, going
one after the other, taking turns with their offenses. Maverick
lands, Lee fires back, and Maverick comes back her direction. Lee
spins with a wheel kick that is well shy of the intended target,
and Maverick times an explosion forward to pop Lee with a hard left
hand. Maverick sneaks in an uppercut and a left, and she continues
to redden Lee’s nose with her blows. Lee jabs and rifles off a body
kick, and she hops back as Maverick follows her with a low kick.
The two go jab for jab, and Maverick shoots for a single-leg
takedown with 10 seconds to spare. Lee tries to flip her over, but
this time, Maverick fights through it and turns Lee back over to
conclude the round.

Round 3

There is a final clap of hands as the they meet in the middle. Lee
pushes out a kick, and Maverick ignores it to crack Lee with a
step-in elbow. Maverick chains three punches together, steps to the
side and kicks Lee in the waist. Lee tries and fails to retaliate
with a high kick, and Maverick dips down and connects with two
lefts on Lee’s nose. As Lee attempts a hook, Maverick ducks down
and wraps her up to try to take the fight into a horizontal
position. Lee turns the right way and pushes off to get away, and
she sits down with a kick to the body. Maverick pays her right back
with a body shot, and the commentary booth drifts into a brief
conversation about how she also runs a pickle business (Prowler
Pickles) with several different flavors. As the two women continue
to trade, Maverick gets the better of the exchanges by just enough,
keeping Lee guessing and not absorbing the heavies of the blows.
Maverick shoots for a takedown after an exchange, and as soon as
she is stuffed, she lets go with a high kick that smashes into
Lee’s guard and head. Lee steels herself and fakes so that she can
spin with a back fist that connects square on Maverick’s temple.
Maverick succeeds in dragging Lee to the mat, and Lee immediately
sets up a high guard to potentially set up a triangle choke.
Maverick tries to break up the submission, but in turn, falls into
a more dangerous spot as Lee fastens up her leg grip around
Maverick’s shoulder and neck. Maverick’s corner commands that she
does not tap given that there are only a few seconds left in the
fight, and Maverick grits it out to reach the final bell.

Round 1

Keeping things pushing, two natural welterweights meet both
searching for their first win in the Octagon. Welshman Elliott
(9-2, 0-0 UFC) fooled a few not paying attention into believing he
would not make weight, while the stocky Woodburn (7-1, 0-1 UFC)
made his way down to 170 pounds with relative ease. Before the feet
and fists fly, referee Jonathan Romero checks the fighters in while
they share a glove touch. Woodburn practically sprints at his man
to start fighting, and Elliott is quick to stifle that by grabbing
hold of him, turning him around and kneeing him in the gut. Elliott
backs off, measures a head kick and nails Woodburn upside the head,
and this only ticks “The Animal” off. Woodburn blitzes with wild
hooks, cracking Elliott and hurting him badly, dropping the
Welshman to the mat. Woodburn continues throwing until Elliott
fights out of a bad position, and he manages to get up and pursue a
takedown, where he drags Woodburn to his seat against the fence.
Elliott slides around to the back and gets a hook in, and he starts
flattening Woodburn out and drilling him on the side of the head
with left hands. Woodburn sits up and has to immediately fight off
a rear-naked choke attempt from “The Welsh Gangster,” and this only
leads to more shots to the side of his head from Elliott. Elliott
uses softening punches to mix in submission efforts, and those
chokes turn to cranks of any time as Elliott just wants to grip
something and torque it. Woodburn defends against the various
maneuvers, fighting the hands and staying in the fight even if
Elliott is controlling him completely with both hooks in from
behind. Elliott jams down an elbow to push Woodburn over, and he
climbs into half guard and drops down a few more elbows for good
measure. The Welshman shifts into full mount with ease, and he
postures up and batters Woodburn with powerful elbows and punches
before forcing Woodburn to turn over. Woodburn goes flat as he
takes shots, and he grits out a choke attempt and survives to hear
the horn.

Round 2

At the beginning of the second round, Woodburn is still sucking
wind, and he throws telegraphed strikes when the round begins.
Elliott is more composed but willing to engage in a brawl, which is
the one place where Woodburn can still hurt him. The Florida native
welcomes such an exchange, stinging the Welshman and forcing him to
back off and adjust his position. Woodburn slowly meanders forward,
lunging into action with three hooks as Elliott grapples him and
changes levels in pursuit of a single-leg takedown. Woodburn stands
him up with his back to the wall, and Elliott backs off and lands
an elbow on the break. Woodburn flails back to little effect, and
he takes a flush body kick as he hurls an overhand right that comes
up short. Elliott goes after another body kick, and Woodburn looks
to catch his kick and throw him to the mat. On the next attempt,
Woodburn actually catches it and tosses Elliott down, and he jumps
on his back. The fresher Elliott turns the tables and gets Woodburn
down, and he sneaks a hook in as he isolates Woodburn’s neck.
Woodburn again defends the choke setup, but Elliott is firmly in
the driver’s seat when the other hook gets around the waist.
Elliott works his foe upside the head with his fists, and he opts
to try another choke but there is nothing to it. As Elliott hangs
on, the crowd gets bored, and starts booing his controlling effort.
As Woodburn slides off the side and gets on top, the round
ends.

Round 3

The welterweights have reached the third round, and Woodburn
appears less exhausted than in the previous round. The Floridian
surges into action with a wild and inaccurate flurry, and Elliott
closes the distance to prevent any of the power shots from reaching
him cleanly. Woodburn pushes him away, only to eat a few jabs on
the way out. They crash together when Woodburn swings for the
fences, and he lands a single uppercut only for Elliott to connect
with three or four. Elliott leaves a kick out too long, allowing
Woodburn to thump him with a big right hand. Elliott shoots in for
a single, and he succeeds in scooping Woodburn up and putting him
on his back as the crowd voices its disapproval. Elliott controls
from a high half guard in hopes of moving into mount, and his
offense dwindles while he tries for positional control. The
Welshman takes full mount at the midpoint of the round, and he
stays tightly pressed to his spent foe rather than posturing up.
Elliott drops down a single elbow that gets through, and he sits up
to drop down three punches and an elbow to follow. Elliott throws
too recklessly while on top, which lets Woodburn slither out and
sneak around to take Elliott’s back while Elliott is surprised and
on his knees. Elliott stands back up, and Woodburn presses him to
the wire and searches for a double-leg takedown. Woodburn drags the
Welshman to his knee as he transitions to a single, and Elliott
wall-walks back upright. A feeble foot stomp from “The Animal” is
all he has the energy to muster, and he clings to Elliott until
there are a few seconds left. Woodburn breaks, and he swings
inaccurately until the fight comes to a conclusion.

Round 1

A pair of welterweights picked up from seasons of Dana White’s
Contender Series will go hunting in this next outing. Quinlan (6-1,
1 NC; 1-1 UFC) suffered his first career defeat in his last time
out, while Barlow (7-0, 0-0 UFC) punched his ticket to the
promotion by smoking Raheam Forest in 79 seconds less than five
months ago. Both men prefer the knockout, so referee Jason Herzog
needs to keep his head on a swivel for as long as this lasts. There
is no plan on a glove touch, as Barlow sprints out of his corner
and pulls back right at the last second of engagement. Quinlan
allows him to pull back so that he can toss out a low kick and a
high kick. Barlow responds with a quick jab, and he doubles up on
it and brings up a knee when Quinlan comes towards him. As Quinlan
advances that again, Barlow is once more ready to attack with a
jump knee. Quinlan reaches out and misses with an overhand right,
but his body kick does connect. Barlow slides into position with a
low kick, a shovel uppercut of a jab and another leg kick on the
way out. Barlow threatens with a jump knee, and Quinlan allows it
to bounce off his raised guard. Quinlan whips out a left hook that
bounces off the temple, and he targets a second that breezes past
Barlow’s hairline. Barlow’s guard is up well in time to defend a
high kick, but it does not block the body kick that comes shortly
thereafter. Barlow takes a punch on the chin to fire back two jabs
and a left hand, and Quinlan resets. Barlow swings a left hook at
an advancing Quinlan, but it is Quinlan who lands the flush left.
Barlow backs him off with a jump knee, and Quinlan times this leap
by firing off a right hand as if he wanted to reenact Fedor
Emelianenko vs. Andrei Arlovski. Barlow does not go down, and
instead starts pitching jabs until he steps in with a knee. Barlow
reaches out and his thumb jams into Quinlan’s eye, and Quinlan
shakes his head and is allowed 20 seconds to recover before he
tells Herzog he is good to go. Quinlan loads up on shots when
resuming, bloodying up Barlow’s mouth in an exchange. Barlow
concludes the round by surging forward with several punches, a
leaping knee, and a few more straight strikes upon landing.

Round 2

To start off the second round, the welterweights meet in the
middle, and Quinlan tosses out a high kick to reintroduce himself.
Barlow stays on his back foot, evading the strikes that follow, and
he sets up and chambers two body kicks one after the other. Quinlan
jabs his way forward and wings a right hook that buzzes past his
man, and the two slow down in a pace that is more jab-centric than
power shots. One after the other they trade single strikes, pawing
at one another with less than full power. Barlow swats out with a
left hand that looks like he was holding an imaginary axe, and
Quinlan ignores it to throw back at him. Quinlan sits down on a
solid left hand, and Barlow tanks it without batting an eye and
continues to march forward. Quinlan gets off two hooks, and Barlow
scores a right hand that makes Quinlan clutch his eye. Barlow
celebrates this with a jump knee that ricochets off Quinlan’s
midsection, and he lands and triples up on a lab and a left hand.
Quinlan responds with a kick that smashes about as cleanly into
Barlow’s groin as a kick could, and Barlow bends over and groans as
Herzog calls time and tells Barlow to take time to recover. Barlow
uses a little under a minute before getting back to it, and when
they re-engage, they throw huge shots at one another. Quinlan jumps
forward and fires off a body kick, and both men follow this with
solid punch combinations. Barlow gets the better of a pair of
exchanges, ringing Quinlan’s bell and forcing a shot out of him.
Barlow sprawls effectively to shut the takedown down completely,
and he stands Quinlan up with a knee to the sternum. Barlow follows
his man around, landing shots on the temple that have opened a
trickle of blood on the side of his head. The round ends.

Round 3

Before they start off, Herzog goes to each man to warn them for low
blows, as Barlow appeared to have gotten one back that went
uncalled during a flurry. When they get back to business, the
action picks up as both men trade leather. Barlow mixes his jump
knees into punch salvos, while Quinlan prepares looping shots that
manage to get around the guard. Barlow has another flying knee go
past his man, and when he recovers, he loads up on power shots that
knock Quinlan clean off his feet. Quinlan, barely in the fight, is
surviving as he lays on his back kicking upwards to keep Barlow
from jackhammering him further. Quinlan manages to kick off and get
back up, and the second he returns to his feet, he is practically
tackled over and hurt once more by a big left hand from “Left Hand
2 God.”
Barlow does not let him off the hook, and even though Quinlan grits
his teeth and powers back to his feet once more, it is only a
matter of time. Barlow clubs him mercilessly as Quinlan pinballs
off the fencing, and Herzog realizes that the bloodied and swollen
Quinlan has nothing more to offer and is just taking unnecessary
damage at this point. The victorious Barlow celebrates
his handiwork by hitting a picture-perfect back flip, and he
remains undefeated as he claims a knockout in his promotional
debut.

The Official Result

Danny Barlow def. Josh Quinlan R3 1:18 via TKO (Punches)

Round 1

Opening up the ESPN prelims is likely to be an explosive one, as
these two fighters come in with 31 finishes across their 31 pro
wins. Zhang (16-6, 1-0 UFC) worked his way to the UFC courtesy of a
spot on the Road to UFC qualifier, and Ribeiro (15-5, 1 NC; 0-0
UFC) is yet another DWCS pickup. With the majority of their
combined victories via first-round stoppage, referee Mike Beltran
cannot take his eyes off the prize for even a second. The light
heavyweights hesitantly touch ‘em up, and Zhang moves forward to
kick low to start off. Ribeiro swings for the bleachers, and when
he comes up short, Zhang boots him in the ribs. Ribeiro flicks out
a jab that stings Zhang, and Ribeiro is quick to follow with a
one-two that stuns him and draws a smile from the Chinese
contender. Ribeiro unloads a pair of punches, and Zhang stands
right in front of him and is ready to hurl back with bad
intentions. Ribeiro bloodies up Zhang’s mouth, and they both hurl
huge shots at one another. Zhang takes a right hand on the eye
socket, and he raises his arm to call time. Beltran tells him to
keep fighting, and fight he does.
Zhang sticks out a jab, wings a right hook and chains it into a
ferocious left hook that all land cleanly, and Ribeiro might be out
before the back of his head bounces of the canvas. Just to seal the
deal, Zhang drives down three jackhammering hammerfists, and
Beltran recognizes that Ribeiro’s goose is cooked and waves the
fight off. In the hierarchy of the jungle, “Mountain
Tiger” destroyed “Gorilla” tonight.

Round 1

On late notice, Fury FC veteran Vera (11-3, 0-0 UFC) will draw the
unfortunate honor of making his promotional debut against Japanese
buzzsaw Nakamura (8-0, 4-0 UFC). The latter sees betting odds as
high as -1500 depending on the book, but in the sport of MMA,
anything can and often does happen. Whether the tremendous upset
takes place or the matchup is a foregone conclusion, referee
Jonathan Romero will take it as seriously as any other contest.
Serious as can be, Nakamura comes out of his corner stone faced,
and does not offer a glove touch. Vera spins with a back kick to
lead the dance, and Nakamura grabs him and tosses him to the
ground. When he hits the mat, the 50/50 BJJ grappler snatches up a
leglock on his opponent. Nakamura keeps himself upright and hops
around, before turning to the side and lowering himself down to
break out of the submission. Nakamura lands a single
standing-to-ground punch before Vera hunts for another leglock, and
Nakamura breaks out of it with hefty ground-and-pound. Vera tries
to isolate Nakamura’s knee, but the youngster is having none of it
as he slugs his way out of submission danger. Vera pops him with a
clean upkick before Nakamura drops down, and he finds himself in
awkward positions and strange exchanges as he makes his way to side
control. Vera flips over to one direction, and then to his back as
he keeps his feet pressed on Nakamura’s chest. Nakamura springs
around from one side to the other effortlessly, and he tosses aside
any maneuver Vera attempts so he can shift into half guard. Vera
intentionally turns to the side to offer up his back, and he tries
to time a submission to trap his opponent in the process. Nakamura
does not bite on it, and instead proceeds to drum out the round
with some heavy shots.

Round 2

The second round kicks off with Vera attempting a big kick.
Nakamura dips out of the way and lets Vera kick him again so he can
grab the leg and take Vera down. Vera’s leglock setup does not
fluster Nakamura this time, and the Japanese wrestler shifts from
position to position and thwarts Vera from standing up. Vera looks
for upkicks as he has nothing else to work with while Nakamura
lords over him, and Nakamura settles down for the half guard and
follows Vera around to take his back. Vera turns to his knees as he
defends the rear-naked choke, and the scrambles continue, with
Nakamura one step ahead every time. Nakamura attempts an
arm-triangle, but Vera rolls out of it. As Vera attempts to escape,
Nakamura mat returns him back down and smacks him up with a few
ground shots. Nakamura rides out the rest of the round, and the
crowd showers the two fighters with boos.

Round 3

While it is Nakamura who is aggressive first, Vera strikes first
with kicks. Nakamura shrugs it off and answers with a left hook,
and he aims a high kick at the potentially damaged right shoulder
of his opponent. Vera spins with a wheel kick, and he falls to his
back. Nakamura chases him down and hammers him with a few punches,
and he follows the scrambling Vera around while keeping control of
his back. Vera works his way upright, and Nakamura knees him in the
face before dragging him down once more. Nakamura loads up on a
powerful right hand from a high altitude, but it is one-and-done as
he closes in tight. Vera finds an angle to attack the leg, and as
soon as he gets hold of it, Nakamura is able to break out of it.
Vera chains an inverted triangle afterwards, only for Nakamura to
shrug it off without much concern. Vera rolls for a leglock once
more, and Nakamura pulls himself out and grabs the fence to free
himself of the danger. Nakamura spins around and wrenches his limb
free, and he lands a few punches as the pace slows once more. The
fighters find themselves in awkward positions as they continue to
grapple, and Nakamura is always moving and never stuck in a
disadvantageous position. The lackluster fight comes to a close,
and boos rain down in the building while Vera lays on his back and
clutches his shoulder.

Round 1

In something never before seen in the Octagon, brother will replace
brother in a match. On weigh-in day, Justin Tafa was expected to be
facing Rogerio de Lima (21-9-1, 10-7 UFC). Due to an unexpected
injury and some speedy negotiations, the Brazilian will now collide
with Junior Tafa (5-1, 1-1 UFC) instead. Life finds a way. Referee
Frank Trigg is ready for this heavyweight slobberknocker to get
underway, and Tafa stretches his arm out to get a glove touch
before getting after it. Rogerio de Lima scores first with a low
kick as he backs Tafa to the wall, and when Tafa reaches out with a
jab, Rogerio de Lima connects with a second and then a third. Tafa
switches stances and lands the single jab, and he hops away from a
sweeping leg kick. The kicks are already having an effect on his
opponent, and Rogerio de Lima recognizes that. Rogerio de Lima
backs off, connects with a few punches and assaults the lead wheel
with another kick, and Tafa’s leg nearly gives out beneath him.
Tafa hops around, and instead of getting away, Rogerio de Lima
pushes after him with a clinch. Tafa welcomes this so he can
recover, and when they eventually break, Tafa plods forward to
throw haymakers with anything he has left. Rogerio de Lima belts
him with another pair of leg kicks, and Tafa backs up to the wall
and waves him on. The Brazilian swarms him with punches and body
shots, and he shoots in for a double that he completes with
relative ease. Rogerio de Lima lands on top in half guard,
maintaining heavy top pressure and bopping Tafa with his left hand
when he finds an opening. Rogerio de Lima smothers his man until
Tafa sits up. Rogerio de Lima considers a choke from an unusual
position, and Tafa breaks out, relatively speaking, so he can swing
a heavy hand at his opponent. Rogerio de Lima does not like this,
so he lowers his chest down to squeeze on Tafa. The grind carries
out until the horn bleats.

Round 2

Tafa struggles to get back to his feet at the end of the last
round, but after a minute to recover, he appears fresh enough to
continue. Tafa wades forward, and Rogerio de Lima intercepts him
with a calf kick and pushes him down with his fists. Tafa switches
to southpaw to protect his wrecked leg, and he lunges forward with
an inaccurate punch that allows Rogerio de Lima the close proximity
to grab him and shove him to the fencing. Tafa turns around and
lands a body shot before pushing away, and he lets his hands go
with a mighty right hand.
Rogerio de Lima delivers a harsh calf kick that collapses Tafa’s
lead leg, and he looks to Trigg to wave the fight off. Trigg
watches on without jumping in, so Rogerio de Lima decides to jump
on top and pound away with hammerfists until Trigg calls
it. Tafa fought valiantly, but his replacement effort
proved unsuccessful.
