Bloody Elbow fight experts, Zane Simon & Eddie Mercado, are here to breakdown the UFC 269 event from Las Vegas, NV. The guys will have hot takes, possible next fights, as well as reactions to the overall event.The UFC showcased Brazilian submission artist, Charles Oliveira, making his 1st defense of the UFC LW title against the former Interim LW Champion Dustin Poirier. Oliveira, the #8 ranked LW, holds a 31-8 record, multiple UFC records: most sub wins at 14, & most finishes at 17, as well as 2nd-most performance bonuses. Meanwhile, Poirier, the #1 ranked fighter with a 28-6 record, was ready to swipe the belt from ‘Do Bronx’ by any means necessary.Meanwhile, the co-main event featured our 2nd title fight as UFC LW & BW Champion Amanda Nunes put her BW crown on the line against Julianna Peña. Nunes was the 1st & only fighter to defend 2 UFC titles while holding both. At #1 in the women’s P4P rankings, she is widely regarded as the greatest female mixed martial artist of all time.Peña was a challenger who had no intention of leaving without that BW crown. Julianna, the 1st women’s TUF winner, ranked #11 in the women’s P4P rankings, was a heavy “no chance” underdog coming into this battle, with a mere 10-4 record under her belt.For much more detail on the main card and plenty of tidbits about the prelims, be sure to listen to what our fight experts have to say about the event.Overall, this now 14-bout card saw 5 1st Rd finishes, 5 KO/TKO’s, 3 subs, & 5 decisions, 1 split.
