UFC 218 brought the violence.
That was the expectation, and it didn't fail to deliver. In all, there were nine finishes out of 13 fights from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. Chamatkar Sandhu of MMA Junkie summed up the night of violence:
The main event brought about one of the most impressive performances of all.
Max Holloway once again defeated former featherweight kingpin Jose Aldo to retain his UFC featherweight championship belt via third-round TKO.
Aldo came out looking like he was primed to put on a vintage performance. He once again turned to the leg kicks that made him famous as a dominant WEC and UFC champion.
