UFC Fight Night 145 and Bellator 217 were not the only shows of significance to take place during the weekend of Feb. 22-24. One Championship “Call to Greatness” in Singapore hosted two of the organization’s lightweight grand prix quarterfinals, as well as a matchup featuring a veteran submission legend. There was a middleweight title fight and an entertaining back-and-forth featherweight clash at Legacy Fighting Alliance 61 in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Both events were staged on Friday.
TRIUMPHANT TARZAN … “Call to Greatness” was headlined by One Championship’s lightweight grand prix quarterfinal pairing of Costa Rica’s Ariel Sexton and Singapore’s Amir Khan.
