EDMONTON — Halifax fighter Gavin Tucker exorcised some demons from a hellacious beating in 2017 with his first MMA win in two years at UFC 240 Saturday.
Tucker used his grappling skills to take advantage of the taller, lankier Choi. He also had to overcome being penalized in the second round for an illegal knee to the head, which he said was unintentional. Robertson, 24, won by TKO late in the second round. She took Frota to the mat in the first and second rounds and eventually wore Frota down, grounding and pounding her and opening cuts over both her eyes.
In a spirited flyweight battle of Brazilians, Alexandre Pantoja and Deiveson Figueiredo stayed on their feet for three rounds, trading flurries of jabs and uppercuts that left Pantoja's face streaked with blood. Figueiredo won by unanimous decision.
Reppin that maritime!!
