As that one Elton John song goes, ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting’.
There was whole going on this weekend in the wild world of combat sports and for entertainment-sake, we can skip over the UFC’s lackluster main event between Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Shamil Gaziev. But, the UFC Vegas 87 undercard had much more to offer than the heavyweights.
The highlight of the night belongs to UFC newcomer Vinicius Oliveira, who absolutely slept Benardo Sopaj with a vicious flying knee in the final round. While it’s only March, Oliveira’s performance has already entered the ‘Knockout of the Year’ conversation.
