MASSIVE MIDDLEWEIGHT MATCH! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) makes its highly anticipated return to Sydney, Australia, for the first time in five years on Sat., Sept. 9, 2023, with a 185-pound world title fight inside Qudos Bank Arena. In the ESPN+-streamed pay-per-view (PPV) main event, Middleweight roost-ruler, Israel Adesanya, plans to silence No. 5-seeded contender, Sean Strickland. In UFC 293’s hard-hitting Heavyweight co-main event, No-6-ranked fan favorite, Tai Tuivasa, locks horns with towering Russian, Alexander Volkov (No. 8).
Both bantamweights came out firing on the feet, but it was only a matter of time before Stoliarenko scored a takedown and immediately transitioned to side control. Right away Stoliarenko worked to the armbar and quickly cranked. Clark tapped as fast as she could but it didn’t stop Stoliarenko from snapping her arm.

Stoliarenko, 29, was 0-4 inside of the Octagon before this “Prelims” opener and desperately needed a win. The former Invicta FC champion is known for her submission skills and turned it on when it mattered most to keep herself afloat in the UFC 135-pound women’s division.
