Las Vegas, 22.5.2021 – The Czech fighter David Dvo\u0159\u00e1k has won his third UFC fight in a row. The twenty-eight-year-old fighter from Hradec Kr\u00e1lov\u00e9 defeated Juancamilo Ronderos from Columbia by submission after two minutes and eighteen seconds on UFC Fight Night: Font vs. Garbrandt in the Apex Center in Las Vegas. <\/p>\n\n
David beat the twenty-six-year-old Colombian from Bogota by submission after a quick and dominant display, even though he only learned that he would be fighting him a day before the fight. His initial opponent Raulian Paiva from Brazil was hospitalized due to a weight cut. Dvo\u0159\u00e1k is expected to break into TOP 10 flyweight fighters.<\/p>\n\n
Dvo\u0159\u00e1k, nicknamed Undertaker, is known for his thorough tactical preparations and, all of a sudden, he was facing an unknown fighter Ronderos, for whom it was the first outing in UFC. Ronderos had won his four previous professional fights in a row in an American organisation Warrior Xtreme Cagefighting (WXC).<\/p>\n\n
‘It was very difficult. For three months I have been preparing for a taller Thai boxer, and suddenly I was facing a smaller, left-handed wrestler.’ said Dvo\u0159\u00e1k, who won his first two UFC fights by unanimous decision. Last year in September he has beaten Jordan Espinosa from the USA and in March David has beaten Bruno Silva on his home ground in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n
‘It was a shock for us,’ admitted Jakub Ka\u0161par, one of Dvo\u0159\u00e1k’s coaches, after they learned just hours before the fight that Paiva wouldn’t be fighting. Together with the other team members, who are Jan Mar\u0161\u00e1lek and Patrik Kincl, an active MMA fighter himself, they had to consider whether to take the fight or not. ‘We didn’t even tell David and sort of made the decision for him. He is experienced, very well prepared and in a great shape to win.’ Ka\u0161par said. <\/p>\n\n
And Dvo\u0159\u00e1k delivered. He walked into the cage wearing a Czech flag and with a fighting spirit. He was cautious at first, waiting for Ronderos to show his cards. The Colombian tried a few punches and eventually tried a takedown, but failed. In the second minute of the fight, Dvo\u0159\u00e1k took the initiative. He landed two direct strikes and eventually manage to get behind his opponent and started strangling him. Ronderos tried to escape, but there was very little he could do. The tap came and the fight was over. ‘I managed to get a very good grip of him, therefore I didn’t even need the second hand.’ Dvo\u0159\u00e1k smiled, who is adding his sixteenth win in a row to his tally. <\/p>\n\n
Right after the fight Dvo\u0159\u00e1k adressed Paiva. It was very clear that he was still angry with him for not making the fight. Not meeting the weight hasn’t happened to him for the first time.<\/p>\n\n
‘I feel very angry with him. It’s very unprofessional. I would understand if it was the first time, but this is his second fight where he didn’t meet the weight. I even heard that it’s been the third time. This guy is huge, he has no business being in the flyweight.’ said the Czech fighter about the Brazilian. ‘I don’t care about him, I don’t want to hear about him anymore. He’ll be lucky if UFC let him fight in a higher weight category.’ <\/p>\n\n
Anyway, David Dvo\u0159\u00e1k has succeeded in his third UFC outing. Who his next opponent will be is unclear. ‘I have no idea who will be next. I had some names on my mind, but those were only relevant had I beaten Paiva.’ said Dvo\u0159\u00e1k, who at least has the opportunity to negotiate a better contract in UFC after his third win. His current one only has one more fight left. Dvo\u0159\u00e1k would like to fight again this year, most likely in October or November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
