UFC 218 on Saturday in Detroit will go down as one of the best Ultimate Fighting Championship events of 2017. Top to bottom, it was filled with back-and-forth wars, brutal knockouts and contenders for “Fight of the Year” and “Round of the Year.” UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway capped off all of it in the headliner, as he reaffirmed his dominance over the division and finished the great Jose Aldo for the second time in six months.
Putting Doubts to Rest
The UFC 218 main event had to be altered ahead of time when Holloway’s original opponent, Frankie Edgar, suffered a training injury and was forced to withdraw.
