The UFC 221 PPV main card saw a gritty welterweight battle, complete with blood, knockdowns, and even some horrendous eye gouging. When it was all said and done and off the strength of two knockdowns, it was Jake Matthews who earned the unanimous nod over Li Jingliang. What a sound performance at welterweight for the former lightweight. It was show time for light heavyweight Tyson Pedro as he earned a highlight-reel submission win over Saparbek Safarov, with a scintillating first round kimura to kick off the PPV main card.
