Alexander Romanov was by far the biggest betting favorite on the UFC on ESPN 35 card, and he performed as such.

The Moldovan known as “King Kong” encountered little resistance from short-notice foe Chase Sherman en route to a quick submission victory in a preliminary heavyweight bout on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Romanov put Sherman away with a keylock at the 2:11 mark of the opening round to keep his undefeated record intact.

Romanov (16-0, 5-0 UFC) wasted little time getting Sherman (15-10, 3-9 UFC) to the canvas, as he landed an initial takedown and then suplexed his foe on his head within the bout’s first 30 seconds. Sherman had one more attempt at standing before he was planted on his back again. From there, Romanov passed to full mount, walked his foe…

The promotion confirmed the booking during the UFC on ESPN 35 broadcast on Saturday. UFC Fight Night takes place at the Moody Center in Austin and includes a number of reported bouts, including Phil Hawes vs. Deron Winn and Kyle Daukaus vs. Roman Dolidze.

After absorbing a horrific beating from Max Holloway in the UFC on ABC 1 headliner, Kattar bounced back in his most recent outing, taking a five-round verdict over Giga Chikadze at UFC on ESPN 32 approximately one year later. “The Boston Finisher” has won three of his last four Octagon appearances.

After being sidelined for more than a year recovering from knee surgery, Emmett made a triumphant return at UFC 269 with a unanimous decision win over Dan Ige. The 37-year-old Team Alpha Male member has won four straight promotional appearances dating back to 2019.

A former interim heavyweight champion, Gane is coming off a five-round decision loss to Francis Ngannou in a title unification bout at UFC 270 on Jan. 22. Prior to that, the Frenchman known as “Bon Gamin” was victorious in his first 10 professional appearances, including notable UFC wins over the likes of Derrick Lewis, Alexander Volkov, Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Junior dos Santos.

Tuivasa has seen his share of peaks and valleys thus far in his UFC tenure. After winning his first three bouts, “Bam Bam” dropped three straight contests from 2018 to 2019. He has since turned things around, going on a five-fight winning streak — all f…

— UFC (@ufc) April 29, 2022 Despite Rob Font missing weight, UFC on ESPN 35's main event is still set as Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight contender Marlon Vera is going forward with their five-round scrap.

Font (19-5) officially weighed 138.5 pounds for his third UFC main event, or 2.5 pounds over the bantamweight limit. As a result, Font has been fined 20% of his purse that will go to his opponent. The rest of the 12-fight card all made weight, making Font the lone unprofessional participant.

Font's impressive four-fight win streak came to an end in his last bout against Jose Aldo. The former UFC featherweight champion turned back the clock and looked great throughout five rounds, leaving Font to go back to the drawing board. Font will look to impress like past showings agai…
