UFC 254 Standout Performances

Perhaps the most anticipated UFC card of 2020, UFC 254 delivered with stellar performances. The main event featured a lightweight title fight between the champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and interim champ Justin Gaethje. With his high level wrestling background, Gaethje seemed like Khabib’s toughest test to date. At 28-0, Nurmagomedov looked to go out and prove once again that he is the most dominant champion in the UFC. It all came down to whether or not Gaethje could stop Nurmagomedov’s takedowns.

Before the lightweight title fight, the co-main event featured a middleweight title eliminator.
