UFC on ESPN 67: Sandhagen vs Figueiredo Main Card Results
Cory Sandhagen vs Deiveson Figueiredo - Main Event (Bantamweight)
Cory Sandhagen (United States) def. Deiveson Figueiredo (Brazil) via TKO (injury) at 4:08 of Round 2
In a controversial yet technical main event, Cory "The Sandman" Sandhagen forced an injury stoppage against former two-time UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo, earning a TKO victory that positioned him for a bantamweight title shot. The bout ended dramatically when Sandhagen's leg entanglement during a scramble caused a knee injury to Figueiredo, forcing the Brazilian to tap at 4:08 of the second round.
Sandhagen entered ranked No. 4 at bantamweight with a 17-5 record (10-4 UFC), seeking to bounce back from a decision loss to Umar Nurmagomedov in August 2024. The 32-year-old former interim title challenger weighed 135.5 pounds and brought his trademark striking and creativity.
Figueiredo, ranked No. 5, entered with a 24-4-1 record (13-4-1 UFC) as the former two-time flyweight champion who'd moved up to bantamweight. The 38-year-old Brazilian weighed exactly 135 pounds and was looking to rebound from a loss to Petr Yan in November 2024 that snapped his three-fight winning streak at 135 pounds.
From the opening bell, both fighters established orthodox stances with Sandhagen taking the front foot. The Colorado native tested Figueiredo's strength in the clinch early, attempting a takedown against the fence. They separated without success, and Sandhagen landed clean leg kicks.
After an exchange, Sandhagen landed an uppercut, but Figueiredo responded by scoring a takedown. The Brazilian's aggression quickly backfired as Sandhagen gave up his back momentarily before transitioning to top position. From there, "The Sandman" began landing punches and elbows from the top.
Surprisingly, Figueiredo attacked Sandhagen's leg with ankle lock attempts throughout Round 1. The former flyweight champion remained committed to the leg attacks despite eating heavy ground-and-pound. Sandhagen landed big hammerfists and shots from the top position as Figueiredo stubbornly pursued the submissions.
Each time Figueiredo attacked the leg, Sandhagen escaped and landed big shots from superior positions. The pattern repeated multiple times across the opening round, with Sandhagen clearly winning the round 10-9.
Round 2 saw Sandhagen continue leading the action with striking exchanges. Figueiredo landed solid counters, but his volume was outmatched by Sandhagen's relentless pace. After establishing striking dominance, Sandhagen scored a clean takedown and returned to ground-and-pound.
Figueiredo once again threatened ankle locks, prompting Sandhagen to counter with his own leg entanglement. During the scramble for position - what Sandhagen later described as "playing 50-50" (a leg entanglement position) - the American ended up on top.
In the process of the scramble, Sandhagen's positioning caused Figueiredo's left knee to twist awkwardly. The Brazilian immediately began screaming in pain. Sandhagen rained down a few punches before Figueiredo tapped due to the knee injury at 4:08 of Round 2.
Post-fight, Sandhagen made it clear the injury was no accident but rather a technical submission victory. "It wasn't a shame," Sandhagen declared. "If you don't know how to play 50-50, your knee gets popped."
The victory improved Sandhagen to 18-5 (11-4 UFC) and earned him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. He immediately called for a title shot against the winner of Merab Dvalishvili vs Sean O'Malley at UFC 316 on June 7 in Newark, New Jersey.
For Figueiredo, the devastating loss dropped him to 24-5-1 (13-5-1 UFC). The 38-year-old later revealed he'd fought with a fractured jaw and had nearly pulled out due to a serious infection - though he refused to make excuses. The injury raised questions about his future at bantamweight.
Reinier de Ridder vs Bo Nickal - Co-Main Event (Middleweight)
Reinier de Ridder (Netherlands) def. Bo Nickal (United States) via TKO (knees to the body) at 1:53 of Round 2
In the upset of the night, former ONE Championship two-division champion Reinier "The Dutch Knight" de Ridder handed undefeated wrestling phenom Bo Nickal his first professional loss with a devastating second-round TKO. The finish shocked the MMA world and demonstrated that elite striking can overcome even the most accomplished wrestling pedigree.
De Ridder entered with a 19-2 record (2-0 UFC), having won his first two UFC bouts convincingly. The 34-year-old Dutch submission specialist weighed 185.5 pounds and was known primarily for his Brazilian jiu-jitsu prowess. However, he would prove his striking was equally dangerous.
Nickal, the prohibitive favorite, brought a perfect 7-0 record (4-0 UFC) into the bout. The 28-year-old American Top Team product weighed 185.5 pounds and was considered perhaps the most accomplished amateur wrestler to cross over to MMA in his athletic prime. The three-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion was expected to dominate.
Both fighters adopted southpaw stances, with Nickal wasting no time clinching and driving the taller de Ridder to the cage. After pummeling for position without serious takedown attempts, they broke away from the fence. De Ridder initiated the next clinch, contemplating his own takedown, but Nickal spun him against the fence.
The grappling exchanges proved competitive in Round 1. Nickal eventually scored a takedown, but de Ridder immediately threatened with an armbar attempt. Nickal defended and briefly secured the neck, but de Ridder scrambled to top position and achieved side control.
De Ridder controlled from top position, landing short punches. They stood briefly before de Ridder secured another takedown. On the break, de Ridder landed an elbow. The round was scored 10-9 for de Ridder despite Nickal's wrestling reputation.
Round 2 saw the dramatic finish. Nickal landed a leg kick early, then de Ridder connected in close range before they clinched again. Nickal controlled the body as de Ridder landed shots to the body. The Dutchman attempted a trip that Nickal defended.
Then Nickal secured de Ridder's back, but "The Dutch Knight" spun free and landed a pair of devastating knees to the body as they broke. The knees clearly hurt Nickal, who was known for his durability.
De Ridder, sensing opportunity, began landing big step-in knees to Nickal's midsection with increasing frequency and power. The body shots accumulated damage as Nickal tried desperately to fight back and change the momentum.
Another massive knee to the body crumpled Nickal to the canvas at 1:53 of Round 2. Referee Mike Beltran immediately jumped in to stop the fight, giving de Ridder a headline-grabbing TKO finish.
The stunning upset improved de Ridder to 20-2 (3-0 UFC) and earned him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Post-fight, he called out Sean Strickland, declaring it was "top five or bust" for his next opponent.
For Nickal, the loss was a crushing blow. His perfect record ended at 7-1 (4-1 UFC). His head coach at American Top Team, Mike Thomas Brown, later attributed the defeat to lack of experience rather than any fundamental flaw. The loss served as a humbling reminder that wrestling alone isn't enough at the highest levels.

The bout delivered competitive action across the opening two rounds, with both welterweights landing significant strikes and neither fighter establishing clear dominance. Ponzinibbio's technical striking matched Rodriguez's power in closely-contested frames.
Entering Round 3, the fight remained up for grabs. Both fighters engaged in striking exchanges, with Ponzinibbio appearing to gain momentum midway through the round. The Argentine's technical work seemed to be turning the tide.
Then Rodriguez changed everything. The American landed a devastating combination that caught Ponzinibbio flush. "The Argentine Dagger's" eyes glazed over as he stumbled, clearly hurt. Rodriguez recognized the opportunity and pounced to finish.
Referee intervention came at 1:12 of Round 3 as Rodriguez landed finishing punches. Ponzinibbio protested the stoppage upon recovering, but his case was undermined when he went stumbling across the cage and ran chest-first into the fence - demonstrating he was indeed done.
The fantastic finish came just as momentum appeared to shift in Ponzinibbio's favor. Rodriguez's perfectly-timed combination and killer instinct secured the victory and improved his record to 19-5. Ponzinibbio dropped to 31-9 with the devastating knockout loss.
