UFC 223 came and went without further incident. Given all that’s happened since the calendar turned to April, that’s saying something. Half the fans were expecting Conor McGregor to burst into the arena in a semi carrying food from Burger King and hurl chicken sandwiches at fans and fighters alike. But some semblance of normalcy returned and we got an MMA show instead of a WWE show.
The lightweight division is now back to having one champion instead of two, though neither of the two previous champions even participated in the title fight, much less walked out as champion.
