Skidding flyweight contender Matheus Nicolau has found himself with the unenviable task of clawing back into the flyweight title picture.
UFC on ESPN 55 served as the interstice between the standard extravagant affair of the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s pay-per-view staging. Even so, the event's positioning before UFC 301 aided the recognition value of the fighters featured on the card. The 13-fight showcase foregrounded seven fighters who collected finishes, and the allocation of four “Performance of the Night” bonuses suggests a handful of fighters seemingly succeeded in making a commendatory impact on decision-makers.
