UFC Vegas 50 results and video: Song starches Moraes, Dober hits wild comeback TKO on McKinney

The UFC Vegas 50 main card is moving right along, and we got some pretty epic finishes, including a miraculous comeback TKO at lightweight, and a wicked finishing sequence in the light heavyweight division. One awesome finish came in the co-main event when the UFC’s #14 ranked bantamweight, Yadong Song, put hands on the #10 ranked, Marlon Moraes, to earn a first-round TKO. Song was dialed in right away, catching Moraes with clean punches, including the insane three-piece that put him out. This makes three wins in a row for Song.

Before that, the UFC’s #12 ranked featherweight, Sodiq Yusuff, won a unanimous nod over the #15 ranked, Alex Caceres. The bulk of this fight took place on the feet, with Yusuff landing alllll the leg kicks. This victory gets Yusuff back into the win column and extends his professional record to 12-2. In his

Khalil Rountree went full savage mode on Karl Roberson, brutalizing him with a violent series of strikes to earn the second-round TKO. After delivering such a brutal finish, Rountree took to the mic and poured his heart out speaking on his history as a 300-pound kid on the brink of suicide. It sounds like Rountree has a lot to say, and he’s going to try and use the platform of fighting to inspire others who may be in a dark place like he was. How can you not love that?

In one of the craziest comebacks you’ll ever see, Drew Dober overcame being badly hurt several times by Terrance McKinney from jump street to score a TKO inside of the opening round. McKinney had it all but won, but somehow Dober persevered and landed a big knee to get on top and finish with ground strikes. This matchup was pure violence from start to finish, so do yourself a favor and go watch it, and then rewatch it again.

Opening up the UFC Vegas 50 main card, Alex Pereira won a gritty unanimous decision over Bruno Silva. It was obviously the striking of Pereira that earned him the win here, but he also showed an ability to sprawl late in fights, and also get back to his feet when he needs to. What would be an Alex Pereira fight without mentioning that he knocked out UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, way back in their GLORY days.
