Hello everyone and welcome to 411mania’s LIVE coverage of UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan, I’m Robert Winfree and I’ll be your host. Well last week we had a night that broke the record for most knockouts in a UFC event, the third or fourth time that record has been broken this year which tells you a ton about the matchmaking priorities lately. Tonight we’re not looking at that many mismatches, and in fact there’s a stretch of four fights where at least one fighter has a four or more fight losing streak. There were also three weight misses, including Ismael Bonfim missing by 8 pounds or so which makes me question if he even really tried to hit 155. But the main event is a solid Apex main event as top ranked Brendan Allen tries to defend his spot against the rising Christian Leroy Duncan. Outside of that it’s slim pickings, but Andre Fili vs. Kai Kamaka should be fairly fun, Niko Price is having his retirement fight, and Loopy Godinez is trying to get back on the winning side of things. But mostly we’re hoping for good fights in practice because on paper there’s a bit to be desired.

UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan comes to the world from the Meta Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. We’ve got Brendan Fitzgerald helming commentary along with Michael Bisping and Dominick Cruz while Joe Martinez does the announcing and Heidi Androl is our roving reporter. The Apex still has the smaller 25 foot cage set up, but the newer rules are in effect.

Ernesta Kareckaite has gone 1-2 in the UFC but she’s coming off of a loss and now tries to avoid her first losing streak. Melissa Gatto has gone 3-3 in the UFC, she’s also coming off of a loss and is trying to avoid another losing streak. The odds lean towards Gatto at -125 to +105 for Kareckaite.

Women’s Flyweight Bout: Ernesta Kareckaite (6-2-1, 126 lbs.) vs. Melissa Gatto (9-3-2, 126 lbs.)

ROUND ONE: Kareckaite is four inches taller with two inches of reach advantage. They touch gloves to get things going. Some feints from both women as they circle. Kareckaite avoids a takedown then pushes Gatto into a clinch on the fence. A few knees go back and forth then Kareckaite lands a left hand. After a bit Kareckaite pulls free, Gatto then pushes into a clinch of her own and things hit the fence. Kareckaite grabs the fence to counter a takedown, she lands on top and the ref halts the action to take a point from Kareckaite. Well ruled, he’d warned her a few times in the clinch and that completely reversed the takedown. They restart at distance. Kareckaite pushes forward and both women land punches then Kareckaite pushes into a clinch. Elbows are traded as they jockey for position. More elbows go back and forth then Gatto looks to level change, she tries a takedown but Kareckaite counters legally this time and gets on top in full guard. A few body blows from Kareckaite but nothing serious, Gatto has her head clamped down and is controlling posture. Gatto looks to angle for an armbar, she’s got the angle for it but her grip is on the opposite arm. There’s a weird americana style attack going from Gatto as the round ends.

SCORECARD: 10-8 Gatto after the point deduction but could be 9-9

ROUND TWO: Kareckaite pushes forward early, both women land punches in close. Gatto misses a takedown attempt. Calf kick from Gatto. They trade rights. Inside leg kick from Gatto.

ROUND THREE: Both women come out and trade punches. Right hand from Kareckaite in close stuns Gatto for a second. Another right from Kareckaite then a front kick. Kareckaite lands a left hand, she’s rolling down hill a bit now. Gatto forces a clinch to the fence to slow that down. Gatto tries a takedown, she gets Kareckaite down this time then moves to the back with one hook in. Both hooks now for Gatto. A lot of hand fighting going on here. Kareckaite breaks one of the hooks then tries to spin in but a strong crossface from Gatto stifles that and lets her retain the back. Kareckaite rolls and gets half guard. Gatto attacks an arm triangle then uses that to pass to side control. Armbar attack from Gatto, short time though and Kareckaite defends until the round ends.

SCORECARD: 10-9 Gatto, 29-27 Gatto overall but a draw is very much on the table

OFFICIAL RESULT: †WINNER – DRAW, majority, (29-27 Gatto, 28-28 x2)

I can see Kareckaite winning the first, it was a close round and the point deduction made all the difference.

Daria Zhelezniakova has traded wins and losses while going 2-2 in the UFC, she’s hoping that pattern will hold here as she’s coming off of a loss and is trying to avoid her first losing streak. Alice Pereira has gone 1-1 in the UFC, she had a pretty poor debut last year but rebounded with a nice knockout via knee earlier this year and now she’s trying to build her first UFC winning streak. Pereira is a slight favorite at -135 to +110 on Zhelezniakova.

Women’s Bantamweight Bout: Alice Pereira (6-1, 136 lbs.) vs. #15 Daria Zhelezniakova (10-3, 136 lbs.)

ROUND ONE: Zhelezniakova is an inch taller while Pereira has three inches of reach advantage, Pereira is also a decade younger at just 20. Circling from Pereira and both women fire punches. Zhelezniakova shows a few kicks while looking to back Pereira up. Both women swing punches in close that don’t quite land flush. Pereira wobbles Zhelezniakova with a hook but gets overzealous trying to follow up and forces a clinch to the cage. Takedown from Pereira into half guard. Not much going on here, just control from Pereira. A few shoulder strikes from Pereira as she’s trying to pass. Pereira is able to move to full mount and drops a few elbows. Zhelezniakova gives up the back briefly, she’s trying to catch half guard but can’t quite get the leg. A few more elbows from Pereira land as the round ends and Zhelezniakova is cut open now.

SCORECARD: 10-8 Pereira but a marginal one

ROUND TWO: That cut is up on the forehead of Zhelezniakova, so unlikely to be a fight stopper unless it’s really deep but it’ll bleed a lot. The ref asks her if she can continue and she says no so we’re done.

OFFICIAL RESULT: †WINNER – Alice Pereira via TKO, retirement due to cuts, at 5:00 of Round 1

The First Round Finish Club thanks Ms. Pereira for her work. Mic time for Pereira and the translator, she’s happy with the performance and is looking forward to continuing to grow as she’s only 20. She talks us through the finish and says the division is alive because she’s here.

RJ Harris is undefeated including a successful UFC debut a few months ago, now he’s trying to remain perfect and start solidifying himself as a prospect in a division that always needs help. Allen Frye Jr. suffered his first loss in his UFC debut in December of last year, now after a couple of fizzled fights he’s finally back and hoping for more success from his sophomore outing. The odds are solidly with Harris at -370 while +290 on Frye might tempt some people given the volatility at heavyweight.

Heavyweight Bout: Allen Frye Jr. (6-1, 246 lbs.) vs. RJ Harris (6-0, 261 lbs.)

ROUND ONE: Frye is two inches taller with an inch and a half of reach advantage, Harris is also about 20 pounds heavier. I’m calling some BS on the height measurement on Frye. Harris lands a right hand. They trade calf kicks then Harris lands a hard jab and more calf kicks. Right hand from Harris then a bit of a left hook. Frye lands a right hand. Calf kick from Harris again. Harris misses a few punches then lands a front kick. Combination from Harris mostly lands. Frye keeps moving and lands a jab. Counter left from Frye. Hard right from Frye gets Harris backing up. Hard counters again from Frye drop Harris, he gets on top and puts Harris out with punches.

OFFICIAL RESULT: †WINNER – Allen Frye Jr. via KO, punches, at 2:59 of Round 1

The First Round Finish Club thanks Mr. Frye for his work. Mic time for Frye, he says he had to stay patient and find openings, then he talks us through the finish.

Felipe Franco has gone 1-1 in the UFC but loss was a short notice affair up at heavyweight and back at his more natural weight class he got a solid win back in July. Franco is trying to build his first UFC winning streak and prove he’s a prospect of note. Brendson Ribeiro took this fight on short notice, which contributed to his weight miss I’m sure, but he’s also on a four fight losing streak and if he loses again here along with the weight miss it could easily send him out of the UFC. Franco is the biggest favorite on the card at -360 Ribeiro’s +280.

Light Heavyweight Bout: Felipe Franco (11-2, 205 lbs.) vs. Brendson Ribeiro (17-11 1 NC, 208.5 lbs.)*

ROUND ONE:
