UFC Fight Night 160 - Hermansson vs. Cannonier LIVE Results

Nicolas Dalby defeated Alex Oliveira via Unanimous Decision

Nicolas Dalby kicks off his second UFC stint with a big win!

The Denmark native scored his first UFC win back in 2015 to extended his undefeated streak to fourteen. But Dalby could not keep up with the quality of opponents he had to face and was soon cut from the promotion following two straight losses. After picking up three spectacular wins outside the UFC, Dalby’s dream of fighting in his home town and under the UFC banner came true as he faced Alex Oliveira in the opening bout of the main event. Dalby’s energy and emotions were both on high levels with massive fan support on his side. Dalby right away began putting pressure on Oliveira with some solid strikes and found opening to take Oliveira to the ground. With each passing round, Dalby’s performance was skyrocketing. He landed multiple shots from close range, defended inside the clinch and even reversed positions to avoid take downs from Oliveira. In the final round, Oliveira exploded and instantly landed a take down that saw Dalby down on his back for several minutes until the referee stood them up. Oliveira sensing he was behind the scorecard, went for another take down but this time Dalby made sure to reverse it and secure top position. Dalby ended the final round with some serious ground and pound as Oliveira struggled to defend them. With this win, Dallby is now on a four fight win streak. While Oliveira has now lost three in a row.

Dalby ends the round with some nasty elbows!

Ovince St. Preux defeated Michal Oleksiejczuk via Submission in Round 2

Jason Von Flue must be one happy man!

OSP scored his fourth submission win via the infamous Von Flue choke as he made Michal Oleksiejczuk tap out at 2:14 secs of the second round. But OSP had to weather the initial storm from Michal’s relentless speed and onslaught. Michal landed some nasty shots on OSP’s body and head while he continued to hunt for his chin. One of the shots sent OSP crashing to the ground but the former title challenger kept his cool and managed to come out unscathed. The aggressive pace and heavy output from the opening round caused Michal to slow down a bit in the second. OSP took advantage & went for a take down only to get caught up in a guillotine. While many might have scoffed off OSP’s ill timed take down, it was in fact a deceiving move to set up the Von ~~Flue~~ Preux choke – a master strategy OSP shared with his coach during the break. This is the sixth Von Flue choke in UFC history. With this win, OSP is now back in the win column and has tied records for most finishes and submissions in UFC light heavyweight history

Ion Cutelaba lives up to his nick name with a first round win over a formidable striker.

Using his wrestling as a primary weapon, Ion Cutelaba neutralized the ferocious striking which Khalil is known for and took the fight to the ground. Right from the thudding kick Khalil landed, it was evident Ion was in no mood to stand and trade with him. After catching the body kick, Ion took Khalil to the mat and tried to keep him there. But Khalil managed to get up quickly. Ion was persistent to pull Khalil down and secure a top position. Once he got that, he unleashed an assault of elbows & punches from the top. Khalil took some serious damage and could not get himself out of the position. After seeing enough, the referee had to step in and stop the fight at 2:14 secs of the first round.

That is it!@ICutelaba finishes Rountree at #UFCCopenhagen! pic.twitter.com/wVcg9DyBSA

Gilbert Burns defeated Gunnar Nelson via Unanimous Decision

Short notice? no problem for Gilbert Burns

Gilbert Burns who was the late replacement as Gunnar’s opponent picked up the biggest win of his career. Both the welterweights are known for their ground game. But there were some moments wherein they displayed crisp boxing and kickboxing skills. Gunnar’s aggression was just not enough for him to secure a much needed win. While Burns made full use of his arsenal as he threw Gunnar using a judo throw, attempted multiple flying knees and take downs. Gunnar responded with his own set of take downs but was just not there to keep him down. With one round each to their name Gunnar & Burns laid it all out in the final round. A back and forth action only made it difficult to judge the final round up until Burns was able to shrug off a take down from Gunnar and pressed him to the cage . With this win, Burns is now on a four fight win streak inside the Octagon.

Mark O. Madsen defeated Danilo Belluardo via TKO in Round 1

The Olympian sets the stage on fire.

With an Olympic silver medal to his name, UFC newcomer Madsen made a quick work of the Italian Belluardo as he took only 1:12 secs of the first round to force the referee stop the fight. Once Madsen got hold of Belluardo in the clinch he put him down on his back and began unloading a series of punches and elbows. A failed attempt to choke Belluardo forced Madsen to unload an installment of hammer fists, elbows and punches. A short and sweet victory for the local favourite.

Jared Cannonier defeated Jack Hermansson via TKO n Round 2

Jared Cannonier is riding high with his three fight win streak since he moved down to the middle weight division. The main event lasted just two rounds with Jared landing a nasty uppercut on Hermansson and following up with a barrage of punches that saw the Joker turtle up on the ground unable to defend. But the victory didn’t come so easy for the Killa Gorilla. He had to tame Hermannsson who quickly started the action with a takedown. Once back on the feet, Jared began to land strikes making Hermannsson slow down a bit and seizing the first round to his name. In the second, Hermannsson continued to push forward but a quick reaction by Jared saw him eat an uppercut, leading to his downfall.
