When two fights that are likely to end up on the list of Fight of the Year contenders go down on the same evening, it’s hard to pick just one for Fight of the Night.
So the UFC went ahead and announced a pair of Fight of the Night winners after two memorable slugfests went down at UFC 218 on Saturday night.
The lightweight battle between Eddie Alvarez and Justin Gaethje was expected to bring fireworks and they delivered. The TUF 26 coaches threw down until Alvarez won via TKO following a knockout knee late in the third round.
