UFC star Douglas Silva de Andrade suffered a horrific cut before coming back from the brink of defeat to choke out opponent Sergey Morozov in stunning fashion.The Brazilian bantamweight took on Kazakhstani Morozov on the preliminary card of UFC 271 on Sunday Morning, where he was able to clinch a second successive win.Silva de Andrade looked as if was about to suffer the fifth defeat of his career after a devastating knockdown in the first round courtesy of a nasty uppercut.But the 36-year-old veteran came back in the second round to deliver a rear-naked choke and end the fight in sensational style.Silva de Andrade started off extremely tense and slow with his striking.Before long, he found himself on the floor and subject to a vicious ground and pound by Morozov, whose elbow opened up a gruesome cut on the side of his head.But after being taken down by a spinning back kick, the Brazilian came into the second round a more dangerous man, dropping Morozov with two nasty rips to the body.A devastating right-hand then knocked down Morozov once more before a series of flying knees and an elbow saw the Kazakhstani fighter hit the canvas for a third time.Do you think Silva de Andrade's comeback was the best performance of the night?

Birmingham City took on Luton Town.The incident occurred during Saturday afternoon's Championship clash between the two sides, which Birmingham won by three goals to nil.Home supporters had launched tennis balls onto the pitch in protest at the club's owner Paul Suen and Birmingham Sports Holdings Ltd, who operate the club.It is understood that fan frustrations are being driven by the perceived lack of progress with regards to the redevelopment of St Andrew's, which led to the protest during Saturday's game.With Luton on the attack through Elijah Adebayo, one steward took it upon themselves to run onto the pitch to collect one of the tennis balls.This caused referee Darren Bond to stop play, much to the annoyance of Adebayo and his Luton teammates.Once play had been stopped, players and stewards quickly cleared the balls from the pitch, whilst fans continued to launch more and more onto the turf.Luton boss Nathan Jones felt that the protest and the stewards intervention had halted his side's momentum during the match.What is the most bizarre thing you have seen a steward do during a match? Let us know in the comments section below.Speaking after the defeat, he said: “The tennis balls killed the momentum and then the steward stepped on the pitch inexplicably.“I am very reluctant to not give Birmingham credit because they must have done something right today but we were really inept in our performance.“We can’t affect the protest but it did seem to kill our momentum.”The play-off chasing Hatters were unable to haul themselves back into the match following the stoppage in play, as hosts Birmingham ran out comfortable 3-0 winners.Goals from Juninho Bacuna, Lyle Taylor and Onel Hernandez ended a run of four matches without a

Holly Jones Bolivian-Mexican filmmaker Natalia López Gallardo enjoyed tandem careers in editing (“Jauja,” “Post Tenebras Lux”) and acting (“Nuestro Tiempo”), as she made her debut as auteur with the short film “En el cielo como en la tierra.” In her first feature-length project, “Robe of Gems,” she tackles the parallel individual struggles of three women against a backdrop of unrelenting cartel infiltration.What lured you into directing after careers in editing and acting? Was it a natural progression?Definitely, yes, it was there, but I think maybe it took time to accumulate the big necessity. I think it’s very important to have that need to do a film. It’s not a desire; it’s not an objective; you have to need it because that impulse that makes you start a film has to last maybe five years with the same power.
