UFC 303: Pereira vs. Prochazka 2 - Winners and Losers

The dust has settled on UFC 303, headlined by the highly anticipated rematch between Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka. While the main event stole the show, there were plenty of other fighters who impressed (and disappointed) throughout the night. 

 

Let's break down some of the biggest winners and losers from UFC 303. Winners Alex Pereira (Winner via KO over Jiri Prochazka): The former kickboxing champion silenced the doubters with a devastating fifth-round knockout, reclaiming the light heavyweight title and proving his dominance in the division. 

 

 Payton Talbott (Winner via KO over Yanis Ghemmouri): In a shocking upset, Talbott starched Ghemmouri with a flurry of strikes just 19 seconds into the first round, announcing himself as a new prospect to watch in the bantamweight division. Gillian Robertson (Winner by unanimous decision over Michelle Waterson-Gomez): Robertson dominated the veteran Waterson-Gomez throughout the fight, earning a clear-cut decision victory and potentially propelling herself into the women's strawweight title picture.  

Martin Buday (Winner by split decision over Andrei Arlovski): In a close and controversial fight, Buday edged out the legendary Arlovski by split decision. While some may argue for Arlovski, the win is a big step forward for Buday's heavyweight career. Losers Jiri Prochazka (Loser via KO to Alex Pereira): After a dominant first fight, Prochazka fell short in the rematch, succumbing to Pereira's power in the fifth round. Despite the loss, his exciting fighting style ensures he'll remain a top contender. Andrei Arlovski (Loser by split decision to Martin Buday): At 43 years old, Father Time seems to be catching up to Arlovski. The split decision loss to Buday raises questions about his future in the heavyweight division. Michelle Waterson-Gomez (Loser by unanimous decision to Gillian Robertson): Waterson-Gomez looked a step slow throughout the fight and couldn't keep pace with the aggressive Robertson. This loss could push her further down the rankings at strawweight. Other Notable Fights: Vinicius Oliveira defeated Ricky Simon by unanimous decision in a well-matched bantamweight bout. Rei Tsuruya edged out Carlos Hernandez by a close unanimous decision in a lightweight scrap. Jean Silva reminded everyone of his knockout power with a brutal uppercut finish over Charles Jourdain in the second round. This is just a snapshot of some of the winners and losers from UFC 303.
