After a year where pay-per-view shows have been mostly disappointing, both when it comes to action, as well as business, UFC 214 came across as the company's best major show of the year in both categories.
There were four fights that could have been in contention for the best of the night. That run started with the Fight Pass main event of Alexandra Albu beating Kailin Curran. Next came Brian Ortega's third-round, come-from-behind submission win over Renato Moicano. Another contender was Robbie Lawler's close decision win over Donald Cerrone.
