UFC 241: Cormier vs. Miocic 2 - Winners and Losers

Esther Lin, MMA Fighting There was a lot of hype going into UFC 241. After a string of events that felt underwhelming, UFC 241 had a lot to live up to. Fortunately, it did just that. Sure, the event started out slow enough with a single finish coming in the prelims. However, once the meat of the card arrived, it was just about everything we could have hoped. There was an explosive KO from a young prospect in Sodiq Yusuff. There was a brutal FOTY candidate between Paulo Costa and Yoel Romero.
