One of the
Ultimate Fighting Championship athletes who competed on

UFC Oklahoma City sustained quite a bit of facial damage.

Austin
Bashi has revealed he sustained multiple facial fractures
during his unanimous decision loss to Jose
Delgado at the recent Fight Night event.

Austin Bashi's UFC Oklahoma City injuries revealed

Delgado landed a right hand in the opening round and Bashi’s right
eye gradually swelled shut over the remainder of their three-round
bout. Despite the damage and limited vision, the 24-year-old
completed all three rounds.

Following the fight, Bashi disclosed on Instagram that medical
evaluations confirmed minor fractures to both his orbital bone and
nose.

“All glory to GOD! A little fracture in the nose, a little fracture
in the orbital but we live to fight another day,†Bashi wrote on
Instagram along with a photo of his injuries. “Thank you so much to
all my family, fans, and team for all the love and support, love
and appreciate you all! Time to rest a little bit and get straight
back to work, I love this game and I love what I do I'll be back
soon.â€

Bashi earned a UFC contract through
Dana White's Contender Series in 2024 and is now 1-2 inside the
Octagon, with his losses coming against Delgado and Christian
Rodriguez.

Christian
Leroy Duncan claimed the biggest victory of his
Ultimate Fighting Championship career at
UFC Oklahoma City, where he beat former title challenger
Jared
Cannonier.

Duncan extended his winning streak to five with a unanimous
decision victory over Cannonier to further ascend the rankings. The
Englishman landed several significant strikes against the
42-year-old veteran, who managed to make it all three rounds.

Cannonier strengthens his middleweight contender case

Duncan put on a show with his striking arsenal in the UFC Oklahoma
City co-main event and was especially effective with his spinning
attacks, dropping Cannonier and rocking the American a few
times.

“I knew Cannonier was tough, but for him to take some of the shots
and keep fighting, it surprised me,†Duncan said in a post-fight
interview, praising his counterpart’s ability to absorb heavy
shots. “He's called ‘The Gorilla’ for a reason.â€

With a win over a former UFC title challenger now under his belt,
Duncan believes his win streak warrants some big matchups next,
ideally in the divisional Top 10.

“I think that solidifies my place in the middleweight division,†he
added. “Potentially a single digit next to the name, and some big
fights ahead and big names.â€

The former
Cage Warriors champion's win streak comprises victories over
Andrey
Pulyaev, Eryk Anders,
Marco
Tulio, Roman
Dolidze and now Cannonier, with his UFC record standing at 8-2
after going 3-2 in his first five Octagon appearances.

“That (win) now solidifies my place in the
middleweight division.â€

Christian
Leroy Duncan is ready for anyone and everyone in the top-10 at
185-pounds. #UFCOKC

Kamaru
Usman is disappointed with one of the judges' scorecards in his
loss to Dricus Du
Plessis.

Usman (21-5) faced fellow former
Ultimate Fighting Championship champion du Plessis (24-3) in a
middleweight tilt in the main event of
UFC Oklahoma City. The latter landed more significant strikes
from the onset, with barely any wrestling success for Usman. While
the former welterweight king found a second wind in the later
rounds, it was too little too late, and du Plessis earned a
lopsided unanimous decision victory.

Usman explains why he disagrees with Sal D’Amato’s scorecard
against Dricus Du Plessis

While he accepts the result, “The Nigerian Nightmare” is bewildered
by one of the scorecards. Judges David Sutherland and Mike Bell
scored the fight 49-46 in favor of du Plessis, while judge Sal
D'Amato had it 50-45 for the former middleweight champ.

Usman finished strong in the final round and had a strong showing
in the third frame as well. He can't comprehend what D'Amato was
watching and also revealed that his left eye was compromised in the
second round, which made it difficult for him to assess the
distance to shoot for takedowns. While du Plessis' fist was closed
in the punch that compromised Usman's vision, the South African's
thumb appeared to graze the eye. However, the fight was resumed
after a brief pause as the shot was deemed legal.

“I'm no sorry loser, but I mean, 50-45? What were the judges
watching? He's a big boy, and I knew he was going to be tough.â€
Usman said in his post-fight interview with Daniel
Cormier. “I said it all week. He is a tough dude. Early on, I
think it was a punch or a thumb, or kind of one of those weird
punches where you get the thumb in the eye. So, it was tough for me
to kind of gauge the distance and really commit to getting in on
getting the legs. But he is a tough dude… Hats off to him.â€

Usman was coming off a unanimous decision win over Joaquin
Buckley at welterweight that saw him rebound from a three-fight
slump. In the same post-fight interview, he revealed that dropping
back down to 170 pounds remains an option after he picked up his
second defeat at 185 pounds.
