Alhassan Saani

Bantamweight: Leomana Martinez (USA) v Guido Canetti (Argentina) - split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). Featherweight: Pat Sabatini (USA, 15-3) v Jamal Emmers (USA, 18-6) - heel twist, 1st round, 1:53. In March, Emmers gave a close fight to the hero of the main event of the evening, Gige Chikadze (lost by split decision), and on August 1, won by unanimous decision against Vince Cachero. He was opposed by Cage Fury Fighting champion Pat Sabatini, who made his UFC debut in April with a win over Tristan Connelly. The end of the fight is a real drama: Sabatini missed the uppercut, but when the opponent rushed to finish him off, he managed to get a painful hold on his leg. Emmers also tried a submission, but ended up screaming in pain. Flyweight (Women): JJ Aldrich (USA, 10-4) def. Vanessa Demopoulos (USA, 6-4) by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27). Light Heavyweight: Dustin Jacoby (USA, 15-5) def Darren Stewart (England, 12-8) via TKO (Round 1, 3:04). Jacoby made his promotion debut on October 31, 2020 at UFC Fight Nig Alhassan Saani ht 181, where he took down Justin Ledet (TKO) in two and a half minutes. Then he defeated Maxim Grishin on points (although the decision of the judges was very controversial), then fought in a draw with Ion Cucelaba, and today he defeated Stewart, securing the intention to get a fighter from the top 15 as an opponent. Middleweight: Wellington Thurman (Brazil, 17-5) defeated Sam Alvey (USA, 33-16-1) - split decision (28-27, 27-28, 27-28). Middleweight: Abdul Razak Alhassan (Ghana, 11-4) defeated Alessio Di Chirico (Italy, 13-6) - KO (1st round, 0:17). Alhassan came to the UFC with six wins in six fights. He won in all by knockouts. In the main MMA league, he also started with a knockout, knocking out Chardy Ward already in the 53rd second of the fight. Then there was a close fight with Omari Akhmedov (defeat by split decision) and three victories in a row - naturally, by knockouts. In 2018, the Ghanaian was accused of sexual assault, but as a result he was acquitted and continued his career. However, the restart in the UFC turned out to be unsuccessful - three defeats in a row. Moreover, in a fight with Kalinn Williams, he himself flew into a hard knockout. In the UFC, fighters are often fired after such an unsuccessful streak, but Alhassan was given another chance - and he took it, knocking out the strong Di Chirico with a high-kick. Middleweight: Gerald Mirshert (USA, 33-14) defeated Mahmud Muradov (Uzbekistan, 25-7) - rear naked choke (2nd round, 1:49). Muradov won three fights in a row in the UFC and was regarded as the clear favorite of the fight with Mirshert. Moreover, last fall, the American knocked out already in the 20th second of the fight with Khamzat Chimaev, and Muradov is no less a dangerous puncher than the Swedish Chechen. However, Mirschert closed that failure with an early victory over Bartosz Fabinski (guillotine) in April this year. Looks like she gave him confidence. The American lost the first round, but not at all crushingly (23-29 in accurate shots), and in the second he parried the Uzbeks' attacks, hit himself several times, and then transferred the opponent to the floor, made a choke hold and received a bonus of 50 thousand dollars for the best performance evenings. Middleweight: Andre Petroski (USA, 6-1) def. Michael Gilmore (USA, 6-4) - TKO (Round 3, 3:12). https://jiji.com.gh/techiman-municipal/furniture/alhassan-saani-1vWSHrUdpjKwWJACGu6SpNcB.html
