Kazama came forward recklessly, himself, but Nakamura landed first and never took his foot off the gas to win a contract as the bantamweight winner of “Road to UFC.” Jubli wore Saragih down, mounted him in the second round, then ground-and-pounded him until he got the stoppage and a UFC contract as the lightweight winner of “Road to UFC.” Serghei Spivac (16-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) absolutely wrecked Derrick Lewis (26-11 MMA, 17-9 UFC) without much resistance in the main event.

[UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs Spivac](/event/ufc-fight-night-february-04-2023), live from the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 4, 2023. Taira stayed calm throughout, eventually extricating himself from the hold midway through the round before quickly climbing into mount and going on the offensive. Choi defended well and forced Park to adjust, but when they got to the canvas, “Peace of Mind” did the right things, locking up the choke and punching his ticket to the UFC. With the victory, Jubli remains undefeated and becomes just the second fighter from India to earn a UFC contract. Both started letting go of their hands and Nakamura continued to land the more telling blows, dropping Kazama with a clean right hand. The 28-year-old “King of Lions” leaned on his grappling advantage, dragging Jeka Saragih to the canvas in both the first and second rounds, climbing into dominant positions and unloading punishment once there. After eventually flatting Kinoshita out on the canvas, Fugitt unloaded a string of heavy elbows that instantly prompted referee Keith Peterson to step in and stop the fight. While Nelson had positive moments of his own and continued looking to engage and wrestle in the third, there was little damage being done, and Choi eventually managed to work free and close out the fight, roasting the Canadian’s ribs. This was a gruelling, hard-fought veteran effort from Tybura, who remains a formidable stalwart in the middle of the Top 15. In the third, Tybura surprised Ivanov by quickly closing the distance and turning to his grappling, spending the duration of the round controlling the action on the canvas. At no point did either man gain a serious advantage or land anything that really swung the fight in one direction, leading to the verdict being left to the scorecards. Spivac repeatedly dumped Lewis to the canvas, battering him with heavy blows each time before finally clamping onto a deep arm-triangle choke to secure the finish.

Dana White says Derrick Lewis' position on the UFC roster in not in jeopardy despite being "manhandled" at UFC Fight Night 218.

UFC president Dana White believes Michael Chandler is the opponent fight fans most want to see Conor McGregor face in his comeback bout.'Notorious??
