UFC 223 saw the new undisputed(?) lightweight champion of the UFC crowned, and Rose Namajunas cement herself as the queen of the strawweight division. Aside from the madness that went down outside the event, what else was there to pick up from what we saw?
The three-body problem: there’s a physics problem which involves mapping three different bodies which orbit one another, and it is essentially impossible to solve exactly where they’ll end up. The UFC now has its own three-body problem, where Khabib Nurmagomedov, Tony Ferguson and Conor McGregor all have their a claim to the belt and/or the title of “best” lightweight.
