Phil Mackenzie takes a (ridiculously tardy) look at some of the patterns that arose in the UFC's latest trip to Australia
At UFC Fight Night Adelaide, a night of fights down under was characterized by lots of violence, underdog wins, and by swings of momentum.

Sometimes it was stirring, and sometimes it was puzzling, and sometimes it was both. What does it mean?
A comeback isn't just a surge on the part of one fighter.
