The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday made its way Down Under with UFC 243 -- an event headlined by a middleweight unification bout between champion Robert Whittaker and interim titleholder Israel Adesanya. With it came some good, some bad and some ugly.

The UFC accomplished a lot in Melbourne, Australia. The company reportedly set a new live attendance record by packing over 57,000 people into Marvel Stadium.
