The UFC's first event of 2022 went down Saturday night in Las Vegas. It's safe to say the promotion started the year with the bang.
UFC on ESPN 32 was headlined by a featherweight scrap between Calvin Kattar and Giga Chikadze, the division's No. 6- and No. 8-ranked contenders, respectively. Kattar won the fight by unanimous decision, but Chikadze did not make it easy. By the time the fifth round was over, the fighters had landed more than 120 strikes apiece.
In the penultimate bout of the night, former middleweight Jake Collier picked up yet another win in the heavyweight division, this time submitting the experienced Chase Sherman in the first round.
