The Ultimate Fighting Championship's annual Madison Square Gardencard is taking shape.

NazimSadykhov is set to square off against JeffersonNascimento in a lightweight bout at UFC 334 onNov. 14 at MSG in New York City. While the UFC has yet toofficially announce the bout, Sadykhov took to Instagram to revealthe booking. They last competed on the same card earlier thisyear.
Nascimento (13-1) was a highly touted undefeated prospect goinginto his UFC debut against fellow promotional debutant TahirAbdullayev this past June at UFC Baku. However, he was booed in enemy territory for coastingthroughout the first two rounds.

Abdullayev finally hurt Nascimento late in the third round andreferee Jim Perdios called a highly questionable stop to thecontest. While Nascimento made his UFC debut at welterweight, theformer LFA lightweight champ will drop back down to 155 pounds inpursuit of his first Octagon victory.

Meanwhile, Sadykhov (11-3-1) was a -250 favorite against MatheusCamilo in front of a home crowd in Azerbaijan. However, Camilosilenced the crowd by knocking Sadykhov out in the first round,although it was yet another controversial stoppage, this time byreferee RichMitchell. This marked Sadykhov's second loss on the bouncefollowing his defeat to Fares Ziamlast December. His UFC record stands at 4-2-1.

CharlesJohnson claims he's proficient in the Scottish twister.

Johnson (20-9) was originally scheduled to fight Jose Ochoain an Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight tilt. However, Ochoawithdrew after the tragic death of his Chute Boxe teammate, AllanNascimento.

Dana White's Contender Series graduate EduardoHenrique stepped up on three days' notice to replace Ochoaagainst Johnson, who earned a bonus for a sensational and raresubmission.
While Henrique was efficient on the feet, Johnson wore him out witha well-rounded approach. As Henrique was trying to reverse atakedown, "InnerG" caught him in a Scottish twister to force thetap in the third round. Johnson's Scottish twister was the secondever in UFC history, following MurtazaliMagomedov's win over MelsikBaghdasaryan this past June.

Johnson claims he regularly trains the move in practice andsuccessfully lands it at least once a week. The flyweight veteranalso revealed that he learned the move from former BellatorMMA bantamweight champion Patrick"Patchy" Mix.

"I hit that at least once or twice a week on people in practice, soit's just about getting there," Johnson said at the post-fightpress conference. "Patchy Mix actually showed me that move, so I'mgoing to give him his flowers, man. He showed it to me about a yearand a half ago."

Johnson has struggled for consistency in his last six outings, buthas remained active, already recording four fights this year.

PHILADELPHIA – The UFC flyweight division continues to deliver in 2026.
On the UFC 330 prelims Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena, Charles Johnson topped off a thrilling 130-pound catchweight bout with a third-round Scottish twister submission win over days' notice fill-in Eduardo Chapolin. The stoppage came at 1:36 of Round 3.
Although Johnson (20-9 MMA, 9-7 UFC) walked away victorious, the win didn't come easy. Chapolin (15-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) proved to be a worthy test and will be one UFC fans circle on the bout sheet whenever he returns with a full camp.
Chapolin flowed well in the early stages of the fight, though he fouled Johnson with an illegal knee that resulted in a point deduction from referee Jason Herzog. The second round turned into a bit of a banger, with both men showcasing the elite speed and technical abilities the UFC's lightest male division is known for.
After the win, Johnson dedicated the performance to Allan Nascimento, the UFC flyweight fighter who died earlier in August from a heart attack. Johnson was originally scheduled to face Nascimento's teammate Jose Ochoa on the card, but Ochoa withdrew earlier in fight week.

Bahia were far from pleased with the refereeing decisions led by Jodis Nascimento de Souza during this Sunday's (12) friendly against Fluminense.
The Rio de Janeiro side beat the team from Bahia 2-0 thanks to goals from Hulk and Germán Cano.
And coach Rogério Ceni did not hold back after the match at the Maracanã.
Two incidents prompted the outburst: Erick's disallowed goal for an alleged foul by Willian José — when the score was still 0-0 — and a possible penalty on Ademir that was not given.
Ceni pointed out that he had requested referees from outside Rio de Janeiro, which did not happen.

It is reasonable to ***** ume that MLB greats Ty Cobb, Mickey Mantle, Mike Trout, Jackie Robinson and Rickey Henderson would be as revered as Pele, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Franz Beckenbauer or Diego Maradona.
