The Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas was home to a fun—if poorly paced—night of fights. The card saw five (T)KOs, three submissions and four decisions. The event got off to a rapid start, with the opening two bouts lasting a combined four minutes and six seconds, and the entire four fight FS1 prelim card consisting of a whole 21 minutes and 36 seconds of fight time. Unfortunately, that meant we only got 25 minutes of fighting in the first three hours of the broadcast.
If you’ve ever seen Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, UFC Austin would have felt very familiar to you.
