UFC Columbus ended up being a big night for men’s and women’s flyweight rankings and the potential creation of future title contenders. Curtis Blaydes firmly kept his place as one of the best heavyweights in the world, calling for an interim title fight with Cyril Gane. Kai Kara-France had both Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno calling him out after beating Askar Askarov. And both Manon Fiorot and Alexa Grasso took another step toward a possible future fight with Valentina Shevchenko.
With the stakes so high, fans might hope that the fighters saw a decent chunk of change for their efforts.
