UFC 242 was a mixed bag. While it will no doubt be most remembered for Khabib Nurmagomedov’s successful title defense against Dustin Poirier, those live at the event will probably remember the extreme weather conditions in the arena, the fighters essentially fighting in a sauna due to the combination of heat and humidity. It made for some sloppy performances and made others appear more impressive due to their ability to persevere through the extremes. There was also another classic showdown between Paul Felder and Edson Barboza – which somehow inexplicably evaded a FOTN bonus – that saw Felder take a controversial decision, though it should be noted it realistically could have gone either way.
