AnthonyNjokuaniWhat: While we would be remiss if we did not mention 49-year-oldYoelRomero shattering AlexNicholsons jaw with one devastating punch on that same show, instead thisoddball submission received our full attention. Josh Barnettnamed it a version of Further Nelson of the catch wrestling Nelsonplaybook, in BJJ it can be known as a Thunder Lock, while the Florida officialscalled it a chicken wing. We opted to coin it a hammerlock, butan inverted variety since it stunningly wrenched Njokuanis limbbehind his head and not back. What a maniac.Interesting tactic from MoeinAhmadi#FCR29pic.twitter.com/SQNna3T1q0 UFC FIGHTPASS (@UFCFightPass) May 2, 2026Event: Fight Club Rush 29When: May 2, 2026Where: Umea, SwedenWho: MoeinAhmadi def. MattiasHenrikssonWhat: According to the Unified Rules of MMA, eye gouging includesusing fingers, elbows and perhaps most notably here, the chin. Doesthat include the beard? Its been a while since we saw a chin tothe eye-related stoppage, even if the subsequent ground-and-poundsealed the deal. Mark Kerr andIgorVovchanchyn would be proud, to say nothing about ChrisHaseman during his improbable run at one of the most unusual MMA events tocome out of Australia.

Loren JaphetWhat: In this case, it is not about which athlete won or how.Instead, we marvel at the fact that tear gas somehow creptinto the Federal Palace Hotel and the boxing match was paused andnot scrapped. The commentary team could only sputter that there issome tear gas in the air as at least one other fight fell off thecard because of this. Not local boxers Adebayo and Japhet, though.They had to get back in there and go the distance. Sometimes thesethings happen in Lagos?Triangulo de brazo de AlouCamara (4-0)!
