UFC Vegas 64 Results: Amanda Lemos stops Rodriguez, Magny breaks record

On Sunday, November 6, UFC FIGHT NIGHT: RODRIGUEZ VS LEMOS, also known as UFC Vegas 64, was broadcast live in Asia at UFC APEX in Las Vegas. From the opening match to the final match, the card was jam-packed with submissions and knockouts.

Amanda Lemos stops Marina Rodriguez

In their five-round main event, strawweight contenders #3 Marina Rodriguez and #7 Amanda Lemos competed respectfully of one another's strength. Lemos turned up the heat in the second round with a trip and back control on the ground. In the third round, Lemos earned the crashing finish with an overhand right that knocked Rodriguez to the ground and necessitated a referee finish. Lemos stated:

"We started studying each other, but we worked on that punch so hard, we needed it, this was the strategy. When I hit her, I saw her legs wobbling a little bit. I didn't think twice, I had to finish her right there. Hey Dana, I'm here already. Put me as the backup for the title fight in New York."

Neil Magny gets record breaking win

When he stopped perennial welterweight contender #14 Daniel Rodriguez, #13 Neil Magny set a record for the most victories in the UFC welterweight division. Rodriguez had the upper hand with his potent punching in the second, but Magny moved ahead with his wrestling in the third and won with a D'arce choke. 

"It feels amazing, all the hard work is definitely paying off. It's been a long journey to get here, but I'm just getting started. I know Dan's a good fighter, but my goal is to be UFC champion, and he was just a guy in my way to get there,” Magny noted.
