Strangled in a crazy match Landon Vannatu, John Lineker knocked out Michael McDonald; all results of the UFC Fight Night 91 tournament.

In Sioux Falls (USA), the UFC Fight Night 91 tournament has just ended, which turned out to be full of spectacular fights.

In the main fight of the evening ex-flyweight John Lineker bombed in the stand bantamweight veteran Michael McDonald. "Stone Hands" a couple of minutes after the start of the fight hit well and dropped the opponent several times on the floor. McDonald resisted desperately and even shook Lineker once himself, but failed to turn the tide of the battle. The Brazilian coolly and accurately shot Michael pressed to the net with powerful punches and won the fight by knockout.

Tony Ferguson's match against the little-known turned into a real extravaganza Landon Vannata. On paper, this seemed like a passing fight for El Cucuy, but in reality, Vannata turned out to be fluid like water, unrealistically fast and possessing unorthodox technique. In the first round, Landon immediately acted like a boss, dropping his hands and starting to impersonate Anderson Silva from five years ago. It turned out even better: Tony, who did not expect such impudence, climbed into hell and suddenly began to snatch seriously. Vannata was creative in full, mixing attacks with hands with backfists, and elbows with kicks. One such high kick caught Ferguson at the end and sent him to the most severe knockdown. By some miracle, Tony, on wobbly legs, managed to run away from his opponent, tied him up on the ground and survived until the second round.

In the next five minutes, the thinking Ferguson finally realized who he was dealing with. Tony stopped his headlong attack and started cutting Vannata into thin slices. A few minutes, and the bloodied Landon himself rushes into the arms of Ferguson, falling for a choke hold.

Patriot of the Russian land Aleksey Oleinik lost today on points in a battle with Daniel Omelyanchuk. The first round "Boa" almost completely spent on the Pole, trying to quickly get a branded choke, but Omelyanchuk was not a novice on the ground and successfully fought back. In the second round, Daniel met Oleinik hard with punches and with his elbow turned the right half of his face into a bloody mess, dominating the ground at the same time. In the decisive five-minute period, Alexei again succeeded in a takedown, but Daniel turned the opponent over and threw him from above. Oleinik tried the secret technique "spitting mouth guard", which in his native latitudes often allows him to interrupt the beating, but the local referee ignored these attempts.

As a result, one judge awarded the match a draw, the other two - a victory for Omelyanchuk with a score of 29-28.

The UFC Fight Night 91 tournament was held in the American town of Sioux Falls. This evening, the famous flyweight fighter entered the octagon John Lineker and talkative lightweight Tony Ferguson. The audience also saw the battle of heavyweights - a former Ukrainian Alexey Oleinik and Pole Daniel Omelyanchuk.

LINEKER - MACDONALD

The main match of the main card of the tournament was the meeting of the uncompromising John Lineker(28-7) and number five in the flyweight category Michael McDonald (17-4).

The first round began with the fact that the fighters determined the roles in the octagon. Lineker took the center of the ring, acting more aggressively, and McDonald was more often near the net and tried to keep John at jab distance.

However, McDonald's tactics did not help him escape Lineker's sweeping punches. In the second minute of the fight, John shook Michael several times, who was trying to escape the net from cannon strikes. The end of the fight came in the middle of the first five-minute period, when Lineker “filled up” the opponent with an accurate blow from the left and began to finish him off. The referee decided to save McDonald's health.

FERGUSON - WANATA

Top lightweight Tony Ferguson(21-3) after a six-month absence, he returned to the octagon at the UFC Fight Night tournament, where he met with a debutant Lando Wanatoy (8-1).

It should be noted that at first the 32-year-old El Cucuy was supposed to fight with Michael Chiesa, however, the opponent was unable to fight due to injury. A replacement was found in the person of the debutant Vanate, who had previously played in "second-rate" organizations. Ferguson did not argue with the UFC and accepted the fight. Tony was immediately criticized. All due to the fact that he previously mocked Khabib Nurmagomedov, which, after a two-year absence, also received a debutant. However, in his duel, the American was in an identical position.

As for the fight itself, it started frankly badly for Tony. At the start of the first round, El Kukuy sent the opponent to a mini-knockdown, but Vanata recovered very quickly and began to cause significant damage to the third lightweight rating with his punches. Ferguson fell three times after hitting a debutant, and miraculously managed to escape from finishing off.

At the end of the round, Tony even moved the fight to the floor, where he tried to hold the opponent's arm, but Vanatu was saved by a gong.

Ferguson started the second round not so self-confidently and immediately began to knit an opponent, having managed to choke him. Tony started it standing, but then, holding the opponent, he transferred him to the floor, where he fixed the reception and forced him to surrender.

After winning the fight, "El Cucuy" stated that he missed a lot of punches, as he intended to arrange a beautiful fight. Also, the American challenged the new lightweight champion to a duel. Eddie Alvarez.

OMELYANCHUK - OLEYNIK

Also, as part of the Fight of the Night tournament, a 33-year-old Polish heavyweight met in the octagon Daniel Omelyanchuk(19-5) and a Kharkiv resident who renounced Ukrainian citizenship and now acts under the Russian banner Alexey Oleinik (50-10-1).

In the first round, Oleinik, as a basic wrestler, did everything possible to keep his opponent on the ground and not let him do anything. At the same time, the Russian himself did not create anything and only got tired, trying to overcome a 110-kilogram opponent.

The second round was radically different from the previous one. Omelyanchuk started the five-minute period very actively and landed several powerful blows in the standing position, which shocked Oleinik. Later, the Russian took the fight to the ground, but even there the fresher Pole was on top and began to smash the opponent's face.

The final five-minute period was remembered for the efforts of Oleinik to transfer the fight to the ground, but even in this position, Omelyanchuk struck more often. And in the end, the Pole rematched one takedown, making the choice of judges obvious.

On the cards of two referees, the Pole won, and another judge gave a draw: 28-28, 29-28, 29-28.

It should be noted that for Oleinik the fight ended with a broken and bloodied face, on which cuts opened.

On July 14 at the UFC FN: 91 tournament, the eminent Russian heavyweight returns Alexey Oleinik. Rival after a year and a half of downtime will be a Polish fighter Daniel Omelyanchuk . In this article, we will analyze the upcoming fight in all its components.

Grappling

First of all, I would like to note exactly that. Both fighters have in their track record most of the victories were won by holding painful or suffocating. But Alexey still excels in this component of his counterpart because: he has a black belt in jiu-jitzu, he has much more experience and during his career he defeated many eminent grapplers. What can not be said about Daniel, the last time he won by submission was in 2012, and the level of opposition, over which he won victories by pain or choke, leaves much to be desired ...

Struggle

Alexei has a clear advantage in the fight. He is the master international class By combat sambo, and he won most of his fights not only because of his first-class possession of pain and choking, but also because he fights very well and feels confident on the ground in all positions. What can not be said about Daniel, in fights with good level wrestlers, he always experienced problems. Take the same Jared Rosholt or Anthony Hamilton, whom Alexei, in turn, confidently defeated.

Percussion technique

In this component, it is difficult to single out who is better, both fighters have few knockout victories. Although Daniel's main base is Thai boxing and he is a 3-time champion of Poland in Thai boxing, he has not been able to establish himself as a dangerous striker in MMA. The clinch can be distinguished from his arsenal, he works well with his knees in the clinch and he also has hard low kicks. Alexey has a non-standard striking technique, which is often inconvenient for fighters. He proved this in his last fight when he knocked out Jared Rosholt with a cinder block blow (as Alexey himself calls this blow).

Cardio

In the last fight, Daniel noticeably ran out of steam by the end of the first round, in the second round his hands began to drop noticeably, which his opponent often began to use. In his fights, Daniel never speeds up the pace of the fight, and if the fight goes beyond the 3rd round, then his stamina is noticeably reduced. Aleksey Oleinik had his last 3-round fight in 2013 against Tony Lopez and it’s impossible to say that Aleksey experienced any problems with cardio in this fight. And in principle, Alexey's fights very rarely go beyond the first round. The only one on this moment factor is Aleksey's downtime at 1.5 years old, but if Aleksey goes through good physical and functional training, then he should not have problems with endurance.

Anthropometry

Alexey - height 185.4 cm, weight 108 kg.
Daniel - height 182.8 cm, weight 109.7 kg.
Data taken from sherdog.com

Anthropometric data for both fighters are almost the same. Except that Daniel started his career in the heavyweight category, and Alexei competed in the middleweight category at the beginning of his career. Only over time, Alexei was able to gain the necessary weight and rise to the heavy weight category. Therefore, from the side of dimensions, not one of the fighters has an advantage.

Age

Alexey Oleinik - 38
Daniel Omelyanchik - 32

Here, Daniel has the advantage with a difference of 6 years. But do not forget that for fighters of the heavy division, age is not as terrible as for lighter ones. weight categories. After all, heavyweight fighters, by age, on the contrary, are just beginning to open up. For example: take Fabricio Werdum (UFC Champion in heavyweight) he is now 38 years old, and he became a champion only at 37 years old. And most of the top 15 heavyweight division is over 35, Mark Hunt (42), Roy Nelson (39). So age is not a factor here.

Opposition

Let's compare the last 5 opponents of both fighters.
Daniel: Jargis Danho, Chris De La Rocha, Anthony Gamilnon, Jared Rosholt, Nandor Guelmino. All these fights were held within the UFC and statistics (3-2). Daniel lost to Jared Rosholt and Anthony Hamilton, and won victories over debutants who, in addition to being unknown to anyone, are still frankly weak for the UFC level.

Alexey: Jared Rosholt, Anthony Hamilton, Mirko Fillipovic, Dion Starring, Jeff Monson. In all five fights, Alexey won confident early victories, in the UFC (2-0) victories were won over Jared Rosholt and Anthony Hamilton.
The level of opposition speaks for itself, in addition to the fact that Aleksey defeated those fighters who defeated Daniel, he also defeated such eminent fighters as Mirko Fillipovich,
Jeff Monson and Dion Starring.

In conclusion, we can conclude that Alexey is better than Daniel in all components and he has everything to win. This fight will only benefit now, because Alexei had a long rehabilitation period and he did not go into the cage for a year and a half. Therefore, he needs to breathe and feel the cage in order to go against the elite of the division in the next battles. But this fight cannot be called an easy walk either, Daniel Omelyanchik is one of those fighters who always go to the end. In his career, he has never lost ahead of schedule, he is a very strong-willed fighter and always goes to the end.
