REPORT | ODDS: Siraj (-250); Yannis (+200)
Round 1
It’s Canada against the world in this rough UFC Fight Night card
that may yet deliver in terms of action but is sorely lacking in
the rankings-relevance department. Nevertheless, we persist, as
there are 43 fight cards to punch through this year and a fight fan
does not dine on caviar alone. The ground turkey of a fight card
provides 12 matches, with nine of those featuring a Canadian
athlete against a foreign adversary. The first fight of the night
is one of those bouts when newcomers collide, as Siraj (14-3, 0-0
UFC) reps his home country against Texas-based Yannis (9-4, 0-1
UFC) at 135 pounds. Drawing the first assignment of the evening is
referee Chris Desautels. The combatants touch ‘em up to seal the
cage around them, and it’s time for some action.

Yannis, keeping his hands relatively low, positions himself early
in the center of the cage. Siraj switches stances back and forth to
introduce early difficulties to his foe, with the Canadian primed
and ready to fire off heavy counters. He steps in, lands a low kick
and hops back to evade one coming back at him. They pump-fake at
one another until Siraj spurs into action with a right hand and a
pair of front kicks. Yannis sits on a left hand to get Siraj’s
attention, but he is similarly caught in an exchange. Yannis drills
his opponent with a three-punch combo square on the jaw, knocking
Siraj down to the mat. Rather than playing around in the guard,
Yannis stands back up and allows Siraj to follow him, clipping him
with another right on the way up. Siraj appears to have shaken the
cobwebs out quickly, but he ducks down for a level change and has
his bell rung again. Yannis staggers and erects himself upright
again, but it is taking the right hand flush again and again.

Yannis opens up with a knee and another power right hook, shaking
the Canadian up. Siraj collapses to his back in a bad way, and
Yannis mounts his adversary and punishes him with ferocious elbows.
Siraj might have been knocked out from the bombardment of elbows,
and as he sits up, his eyes looking every direction but his
opponent’s, Desautels waves the fight off as he must have seen
something he did not like. Yannis climbs off his
fallen foe to celebrate, while the defeated Canadian breaks down in
tears. The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in one
scene.

REPORT | ODDS: Castaneda (-120); Vologdin (+100)
Round 1
While initially booked as a bantamweight fight, someone in the
Castaneda (21-8, 4-4 UFC) vs. Vologdin (12-4-1, 0-0 UFC) matchup
appeared to be struggling to get down to 136 pounds and requested
it be set for 139 pounds. The catchweight contest will have
gold-standard referee Jason Herzog watching over the fighters, and
they are glad to still be competing and show it with a shared clap
of hands.

Castaneda says hello with his leg, firing off kicks high and low to
make Vologdin nod at him in appreciation of his game. Castaneda
even goes for an axe kick when Vologdin crowds him, and Vologdin
settles to kick his foe back a few times. Castaneda bounces out of
the way when the shorter Russian lunges at him, and he watches
Vologdin miss on a body shot to stick him with a left cross and two
low kicks. Vologdin returns fire with a kick that appears to
frustrate his opponent, resulting in a clinch as the fans
immediately start booing. It’s going to be one of those nights.
“Sexi Mexi” breaks out of the tie-up and steps back to evade a
knee, and the two have their legs entangled when throwing them at
the same time. Castaneda bounces back up, and he is gifted a
high-five when standing up. He lets fly a low kick to counter a jab
that bangs square into the bottom of Vologdin’s cup, who stumbles
around the cage in serious pain as Herzog calls time. Vologdin
drops to his knees as he tries to shake out some of the discomfort,
and he steels himself and is good to go after about 50 seconds of
break. They both let fly kicks, and Castaneda follows one with a
sharp right hand on the temple.

Vologdin has to blink out the impact of the blow and gets right
back into the melee, flashing his jab to find his range. When
Vologdin commits to big hooks, Castaneda slips them, counters and
shoves his foe back. Vologdin bounces forward and has a low kick
checked, and he stands in the pocket to trade but cannot pin “Sexi
Mexi” down, even with a spinning wheel kick try. The jabs of
Vologdin have bloodied up Castaneda’s nose, who pitches out a kick
and shoots in for a level change. There is no takedown to be found
from this, so Castaneda backs off and picks and pokes with body
kick and long punches. Vologdin tries to pay him back with crisp
pocket boxing, but he finds that he is beaten to the punch and kick
by the speedster from Minnesota. Vologdin keeps marching forward to
force Castaneda to fight off the back foot, but this plays at least
partially into the game plan of Castaneda, who is potshotting him
at range. Vologdin just misses with a rolling thunder kick, and the
horn sounds.

A fist bump opens the round, and Castaneda gets right going
peppering with kicks. Vologdin throws three back in rapid
succession to think about, but the volume is in favor of the
American for now. Vologdin drives through a one-two, and Castaneda
stands firm and jabs him in the nose to back him off. Vologdin
loops two right hand that bang into the guard, but his left to the
ribs does score. Castenada goes low to the body, and he sticks
around and gets popped by three punches from the debuting fighter.
Castaneda bounces in and out behind his jab, just dodging the worst
flying his way in time but still eating some shots when engaging.
Vologdin jabs and shoots in for a single-leg takedown, and
Castaneda bounces off his knee and hops back to the cage wall to
set up a guillotine choke. Vologdin elevates and dumps him,
breaking out of the choke, but he does not have Castaneda down.

Castaneda is able to break out of the attempt and release his own
submission grip to reset, where he stands in front of Vologdin and
strings together quick combos. Vologdin winds up with a power left
hand, and Castaneda shoulder-rolls it to take the sting out of it
and gives back a heavy right up top. Castaneda leads off an
exchange with a low kick that bangs into the groin, and he follows
it with heavy punches as Vologdin turns away to recover from the
foul. Herzog has to peel Castaneda away, as Castaneda claims he did
not land the low strike, and Vologdin eats a few more before Herzog
is in place. Vologdin sits down to get his wind back, and Herzog
deducts one point from Castaneda for his second groin kick. After
75 seconds, the round resumes, and thank goodness rules are being
enforced around here. They proceed to go right after one another,
with Castaneda leading the dance with power and volume. Vologdin is
comfortable to sit on his right hand and launch it when it feels
right, and he gets caught in a clinch and takes a spinning back
elbow on the noggin before separating. Castaneda slips and ducks
his way in, constantly changing his target with weapons like a knee
up the middle, two left hands and a right to the ribs. Vologdin is
largely headhunting, and Castaneda is giving him a lot to think
about as the second round concludes.
