UFC 238’s main card opened with a couple of bangers. First, in the heavyweight division, Blagoy Ivanov picked up an unanimous decision win over Tai Tuivasa in a pure striking match. Afterwards, Petr Yan delivered a thrilling performance against Jimmie Rivera and scored an unanimous decision victory of his own. On Twitter, pro fighters praised both fights.
