Overall, UFC 216 turned out to be a pretty good fight card, in that Bobby Green and Lando Vannata did a bit of synchronized swimming in the “deep water” and Demetrious Johnson broke the all-time consecutive title defenses record with a casually executed suplex-to-armbar finish of Ray Borg. These things played out extraordinarily on a night that truly needed something extraordinary, as the UFC paid tribute to Las Vegas just six days after the city’s greatest tragedy.
It really was a nice touch for the UFC to show that kind of love and empathy with its hub city.
