UFC on Fox 15 was a turning point for several young fighters.
On the main card, 23-year-old Max Holloway pulled an upset by submitting Cub Swanson, just minutes after 21-year-old Paige VanZant decisioned veteran Felice Herrig and 25-year-old Beneil Dariush defeated Jim Miller. Earlier on the undercard, bantamweight super-prospect Aljamain Sterling, 25, forced a formidable opponent in Takeya Mizugaki to tap.
As the weekend and UFC 186 draws closer, the diaper dandies will again be in the MMA news, as 24-year-old Kyoji Horiguchi steps in to challenge Demetrious Johnson for the flyweight belt.
The whole thing got us to thinking.
