UFC Austin took place at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, and delivered a night full of thrilling finishes. The event showcased a total of 10 post-fight bonus checks awarded to the fighters who put on spectacular performances. Arman Tsarukyan stole the show with a first-minute knockout victory over Beneil Dariush in the main event. Jalin Turner also had a highlight reel knockout, obliterating Bobby Green in the co-main event. Let’s take a closer look at the winners and their potential next opponents.
Arman Tsarukyan
Despite his impressive finish, Tsarukyan did not surpass Charles Oliveira in the title fight race. However, a rematch between the current champion and Tsarukyan would be intriguing down the road. For now, Tsarukyan, who is on a three-fight win streak and should crack the Top 5, should focus on a potential scrap against Justin Gaethje, the No. 2 ranked fighter at 155 pounds.
Jalin Turner
Jalin Turner made the most of his opportunity after stepping in for an injured Dan Hooker to face Bobby Green. He knocked out Green in the first round, snapping his two-fight losing streak. Turner’s next opponent could be Rafael Fiziev, who has lost two straight fights and is currently ranked No. 7 in the division.
Deiveson Figueiredo
Deiveson Figueiredo made an impressive Bantamweight debut with a win over Rob Font. While he was hoping for a title fight against Sean O’Malley, that doesn’t seem to be in the cards. Instead, a fight against Petr Yan, the former 135-pound champion who has lost his last three fights, might be a more appropriate next step.
Sean Brady
After over a year away from action, Sean Brady returned with a dominant performance against Kelvin Gastelum, submitting him in the third round. This win should earn Brady a bump up the rankings, and a fight against Gilbert Burns would be an exciting matchup. Burns is coming off a loss to Belal Muhammad, the same fighter who handed Brady his first-ever defeat.
Joaquim Silva
Joaquim Silva picked up a significant win by outscoring Clay Guida. After suffering a knockout loss to Arman Tsarukyan earlier this year, Silva is back in the win column. To continue his climb in the lightweight division, a matchup against Rafa Garcia, who also defeated Guida in his last fight, would make sense.
Dustin Stoltzfus
Dustin Stoltzfus secured a much-needed win by submitting Punahele Soriano. Stoltzfus had been on a rough patch, losing three of his last four fights. His next opponent could be Christian Leroy Duncan, who holds a 2-1 record in the UFC and is coming off a win over Denis Tiuliulin.
