Holland came out throwing heat early in the opening round, but before long, Dolidze took things to the ground where he controlled things with relative ease. Holland attempted an armbar near the four-minute mark of the round, but he appears to have been injured during the exchange. That prompts Dolidze to drop bombs from the mount.

Ryan Spann Scores 95-Second Guillotine Submission Victory Over OSP - UFC 307 Highlights

Ryan Spann made quick work of former one-time title challenger Ovince St. Preux in his return to the Octagon on Saturday night at UFC 307.

After a brief stoppage due to a low blow on Spann, ‘Superman’ came out hot and stuck OSP with a nasty right hand that had St. Preux backpedaling quickly. As St. Preux retreated to the fence, Spann rushed in which prompted OSP to shoot for a desperation takedown.

That allowed Spann to snatch St. Preux’s neck and lock in a tight guillotine choke forcing the Haitian sensation to tap out 95 seconds into the scrap.

Renato Moicano vs. Benoit Saint-Denis - UFC Paris Highlights

Renato Moicano made it four in a row at UFC Paris after he bloodied Benoit Saint-Denis in the first round.

‘Money’ flexed his ground game early, securing an easy takedown in the opening minute of their UFC Paris headliner on Saturday. From there, Moicano spent the majority of the round battering and bloodying the ‘God of War’ with a variety of brutal ground and pound strikes.

Renato Moicano

To his credit, Saint-Denis survived the first five minutes, but he slowly walked back to his corner already looking like a fighter who had just gone 25 hard minutes. With multiple cuts over his right eye and a horrifically swollen left eye, it seemed to be a matter of time before Moicano would finish the job.

Surprisingly, Saint-Denis bounced back in the second round and actually took the round on all three judge’s scorecards. Unfortunately, the French native was not allowed to come out for round three after referee Marc Goddard called in the cageside physician to check on Saint-Denis’ eye.

Renato Moicano

Indicating he was unable to see out of his right eye, the bout was called off, and ‘Money’ was declared the winner via a technical knockout.

Official Result: Renato Moicano def. Benoit Saint-Denis via TKO (doctor’s stoppage) at 5:00 of Round 2.
