Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 18 card, which emanated from the promotion’s Apex facility in Las Vegas, was hammered by last-minute shakeups and lineup changes until it was nearly unrecognizable from its original version.
Nonetheless, it turned out to be a pretty exciting night of fights.
In the main event, we saw former light heavyweight title challenger correct a two-fight skid by submitting the dangerous Devin Clark in the first round. In the co-main event, meanwhile, we saw unbeaten Puerto Rican welterweight prospect improve to 9-0 with an impressive second-round submission of gritty Japanese star Takashi Saito.
Elsewhere on the lineup, we witnessed some impressive wins from a number of other prospects like Bill Algeo, Norma Dumont, Jonathan Pearce, Anderson dos Santos, Su Mudaerji and Nathan Maness.
