FIGHT NIGHT GAMES. Step into the ring as some of the greatest boxers to ever don the gloves – including Muhammed Ali and Mike Tyson – as you discover the undisputed champion of boxing games in Fight Night. Whether you choose to play as one of today's best or a boxing legend, you'll fight in one of the most exciting boxer line-ups of all.
UFC Fight Night 159's no contest is at least the third such NC this month alone to end due to an inadvertant eye injury, with UFC Fight Night 158's clash between Todd Duffee and Jeff Hughes. That's exactly what will go down Saturday night in the featherweight main event of UFC Fight Night 159 when Yair Rodriguez looks to take another step in his promising career against veteran slugger. The official weigh-ins were held today for the UFC Fight Night 159: Rodriguez vs. Stephens which takes place on September 21, 2019 in Mexico City, Mexico. Vanessa Melo was the only fighter who missed weight and will be fined 30% of her purse. Check out the weigh-in results and video below.

UFC Fight Night 159 will be held at the Mexico City Arena in the Azcapotzalco area of Mexico City. The arena can hold up to 22,300 spectators and hosted UFC 180 and UFC 188 in 2014 and 2015.
Just look at Conor McGregor, whose first career TKO loss was catalyzed by brutal low calf kicks thrown by Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 in January.
Or go back and watch the thrilling performance Pedro Munhoz and Jimmie Rivera put on at UFC Fight Night 186 this past Saturday. After Munhoz won a unanimous decision, the two fighters compared shins – battered and bruised from the kick-heavy battle.

On Saturday, an Australian regional promotion held an event in Milsons Point, Sydney, Australia. In the Urban Fight Night 24 main event, then-undefeated heavyweight and muay Thai specialist Dean Maxwell headlined against regional standout Rayment Randall with a title on the line.
Despite his opponent's muay Thai background, Randall (10-3) sneaked in a low calf kick undetected by Maxwell (2-1) – snap, crackle, pop.
As Maxwell took a step back, his leg went in a direction – the wrong direction. You know, one of those 'THAT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BEND THAT WAY' angles?
Maxwell crumpled to the mat (understandably), and ever the sportsman, Rayment elected not to land any follow-up shots on his downed opponent writhing in pain.

I guess that's why Rayment's nickname is 'The Limb Reaper.'
According to the promoter, former UFC fighter Suman Mokhtarian, Maxwell snapped his fibula and tibia, which required plates and screws. Additionally, Maxwell will not be able to walk for three months.
Calf kicks have been around forever, but have long been a secondary – or even tertiary – weapon of choice for the majority of fighters. That's no more. These kicks are game-changers. I hope with the development of calf kicks as an offensive weapon, defensive advancements follow. Otherwise, we're in for a lot more nastiness and injuries like the one above.
Check out the kick in the video clip above (courtesy of Suman Mokhtarian, Urban Fight Night).
