Fighters of the Week  1. Tyron Woodley: Shut Darren Till’s trap in an absolutely emphatic way. Put an absolute clobbering on him and finished the smooth-talking chap in the second round. Woodley is slowly, yet surely, making a case as an all-time great at welterweight.

Fighters of the Week  2. Shawn Porter: After over four years, Showtime is once again a welterweight champion, coming out victorious in a long-standing matchup with Danny Garcia.

Fighters of the Week  3. Amanda Serrano: That’s six, count ’em, SIX-division world champion Amanda Serrano to you after Saturday. She remains one of the best boxers in the world and should be much bigger than she is.

Fighters of the Week  4. Jessica Andrade: Good freaking lord. After a rock’em-sock’em round with Karlina Kowalkiewicz, she floored her with a right and earned a nasty KO win that you never see at women’s strawweight.

Fighters of the Week  5. Juan Francisco Estrada: Felipe Orocuta came to fight, but Estrada still was too much, and came away the victor in the main event of Superfly 3 on HBO.

6. Amir Khan: Took a fairly dominant decision over Samuel Vargas in a SKY card main event. dropping a round or two, but coming away unscathed. Another big fight at welterweight probably looms for Khan.

7. Tatiana Suarez: Put on a completely dominant performance over former champion Carla Esparza. Just absolutely beat the hell from her and is earning “female Khabib” monikers.

8. Kazuto Ioka: After Superfly 2 rekindled his desire to fight and ended his retirement, Ioka got into the ring for Superfly 3 and took a decision win from McWilliams Arroyo.

9. Jingnan Xiong: Made her second successful OneFC strawweight title defense over Samara Santos, taking it into the third round before finishing her with strikes.

10. Wang Cong: Won Kunlun Fight’s eight-woman, one-night Mulan Legend tournament.

11. Superbon Banchamek: Moved into the quarterfinals of Kunlun Fight’s massive 70kg tournament after a win over Nayanesh Ayman.

12. Abdul Razak Alhassan: We knew there’d be fireworks, but it took less than a minute for Alhassan and Niko Price to throw hands, and boy did they. It was Alhassan who made his count more and slept Price 43 seconds in.

13. Geoff Neal: Had one of the nastiest knockouts of the year and one that will stay on highlight reels for years to come with a monster headkick of a game, but outgunned Frank Camacho.

14. Raufeon Stots: Heck of a way to debut in LFA. A third-round TKO in the main event.

15. Yordenis Ugas: Took a victory on the co-main of the Garcia-Porter Showtime card.
