For those of you complaining about the main event of UFC 248, stop and think about what you witnessed prior to that. Weili Zhang and Joanna Jedrzejzcyk threw down for what many – myself included – are calling the greatest fight in women’s MMA history. For 25 minutes, they threw everything they had at one another, several shots from each rocking the other at various points throughout the back-and-forth contest, though never enough to make anyone believe they were every in serious trouble of being finished. Their performance alone was worth every penny of the PPV price.
That doesn’t mean the main event wasn’t disappointing.
