UFC 224 seems to have been set up for failure from the outset. Whether it was the hits Nunes’ reputation took from her public lambasting at the hands of UFC brass, or her lackluster fight with Valentina Shevchenko, or the on-going, self-evident truth that fans just don’t care about anything without Conor McGregor’s name attached to it these days, there was no buzz heading in to this PPV card. Which of course means that the card itself was good and fun and had a heck of a lot going for it by the end.
