UFC Vegas 55, The Morning After: What took so long for Chidi Njokuani to join UFC?
Chidi Njokuani is a valuable asset for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Last night (Sat., May 21, 2022), “Bang Bang” picked up his second first round knockout victory inside the Octagon over Dusko Todorovic. Though it took a few minutes longer, it was arguably more impressive than his 16-second starching of Marc-Andre Barriault. After showcasing quality takedown defense, Njokuani took a chance by jumping on an anaconda choke. His setup was actually pretty brilliant, even if he didn’t manage to finish the choke.

UFC Vegas 55 results: Michel Pereira splits Santiago Ponzinibbio in back-and-forth brawl
Michel Pereira and Santiago Ponzinibbio squared off in a Welterweight contest earlier tonight (Sat., May 21, 2022) from inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ponzinibbio’s pressure met Pereira’s lateral footwork to begin the contest, but an eye poke from Ponzinibbio stalled the action. Pereira cracked his opponent with a heavy overhand preceded by the jab. Ponzinibbio continued to advance but struggled to land punches. He did find a home for a few low kicks, however. Pereira answered with snappy front kicks. Pereira showed off good head movement when Ponzinibbio did back him into the fence. Another big right hand connected for Pereira and stunned his opponent briefly. Ponzinibbio recovered and ripped a couple kicks.
