Who won the UFC fight last night (1st October 2022)?

The UFC card on Saturday night, headlined by Mackenzie Dern and Yan Xiaonan, was closed to fans and the media. Xiaonan pulled off an impressive upset win over Dern with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his family in attendance at UFC Vegas 61.

Xiaonan picked apart Dern on the feet, simultaneously stifling her takedown game. The Chinese standout also did an excellent job of defending the few submission attempts that her opponent made to pick up a majority decision win.

The co-main event night featured a welterweight clash between Randy Brown and Francisco Trinaldo. Brown used his height advantage to stub Trinaldo's takedowns, picking up a closely contested unanimous decision win. While both fighters looked pretty even in terms of landing damage, Brown probably did a better job at making Trinaldo miss.

Raoni Barcelos picked up a dominant decision win over Trevin Jones in a bantamweight affair. The Brazilian outclassed his opponent in every aspect, barely falling short of securing a finish.

Rising featherweight Sodiq Yusuff scored a first-round submission win over Don Shainis. Yusuff caught his opponent in a thai clinch, jumped into a guillotine and forced a tap, all within half a minute.

Mike Davis scored an impressive decision win over Viacheslav Borshchev to start off the main card action at UFC Vegas 61. 'Beast Boy' outgrappled his opponent for three rounds and promised more frequent octagon outings given that his social media following increases.
