Bonuses! Wacky Landwehr Vs. Onama Brawl Named ‘Fight Of The Night’

Marlon Vera continued his winning ways at the expense of Dominick Cruz’s face last night (Sat., Aug. 13, 2022) at UFC San Diego live on ESPN/ESPN+ from inside Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California. Following a back-and-forth battle, Vera kicked Cruz in the nose and walked away in the title mix.

On the whole, UFC San Diego was a rather violent event. Most of the decisions were entertaining, and the undercard featured some simply massive knockout blows to begin the night. When even the 15-minute unranked Heavyweight bout on the “Prelims” actually delivers a fun contest, you know it’s been a fun night of fights.

Let’s check out the other finishes from UFC San Diego below to see what went down on a historic night inside the Octagon:

• Azamat Murzakanov punished Devin Clark with many left hands en route to a third-round stoppage, including a final pulverizing gut shot.
• Priscila Cachoeira immediately charged Ariane Lipski with massive haymakers, and it worked! She scored the first-round knockout win (HIGHLIGHTS).
• Gerald Meerschaert picked apart Bruno Silva, dropped him in the third round, then quickly wrapped up a guillotine choke in perhaps a career best performance (HIGHLIGHTS).
• Josh Quinlan countered a Jason Witt body kick by absolutely flattening him with a brutal left hook (HIGHLIGHTS).
