Saturday's UFC 266 card in Las Vegas can safely be called one of the promotion's best events of the year. It dazzled from beginning to end.
The card was topped by a featherweight title fight between champion Alexander Volkanovski and challenger Brian Ortega. The fight, which Volkanovski won with a sound unanimous decision, instantly clocked as one of the best fights of the year, and one of the best featherweight title fights of all time.
In the UFC 266 co-main event, UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko authored yet another effortless-looking win, this time sniping Lauren Murphy en route to a fourth-round TKO triumph.
