#4. Nassourdine Imamov beats Ian Heinisch via round-two KO

Middleweights Nassourdine Imamov and Ian Heinisch fought each other on the preliminary card of UFC Vegas 32.

Imamov came in with a patient mindset to tackle a hard-hitter in Ian Heinisch. He maintained control of the center of the octagon with Heinisch circling around the fence. Furthermore, Imamov's fluid movement on the feet helped him keep his opponent guessing. Furthermore, he fully utilized his reach and height advantages.

Though patient, Imamov was constantly on the lookout for moments to burst into an attack and catch Heinisch. He had a couple of successful moments like this in round one.

In round two, Imamov continued building his attack by mixing his strikes. He even secured a takedown, although it did not amount to anything. Midway through round one, Imamov cornered Heinisch against the fence and executed a powerful combo starting with a knee that forced Heinisch to retreat to the ground. Imamov followed up with ground-and-pound to win the fight via TKO.

#3. Julio Arce puts on a striking masterclass at UFC Vegas 32

Julio Arce and Andre Ewell squared off in a bantamweight bout on the preliminary card at UFC Vegas 32. Arce walked in riding a loss and almost two years of inactivity (he last fought in November 2019). Andre Ewell was also coming off a loss, though relatively fresher (February 2021).

The two bantamweights kept the contest standing. Arce maintained octagon control for the majority of the fight and displayed great skill to close the distance and connect strikes.

The task was not easy, as Ewell did a good job of being quick on the feet and creating distance. In the second half of round two, the southpaw in Arce connected with a thunderous left hand, making Ewell stumble backwards. Arce connected with a few more shots before the referee stepped in and waved his hand for a standing stoppage.
