A truly special night of fights. One of the UFC’s most dominant and seemingly unbeatable champions fell to a challenger few, if any, gave much of a hope. An unlikely lightweight title holder picked up the first title defense of his career. And Sean O’Malley continued his run as one of the UFC’s most exciting prospects on the rise.
So, is Charles Oliveira ready for the power of Justin Gaethje? Is the UFC going to give Amanda Nunes an immediate rematch for the bantamweight title? And did Dominick Cruz just make himself a championship contender once again?
To answer those questions – and much, much more – I’ll be using the classic Silva/Shelby fight booking methodology from the UFC of years past.
