UFC Fight Night 80: Namajunas vs VanZant Winners and Losers

We evaluate the winners and losers of the first event of a packed weekend of UFC action.

If there was a poll asking fans how excited they were for this event, perhaps the enthusiasm wouldn't be as high as the quality and action that this card delivered.

Some bouts were perhaps not of the highest caliber, but almost all were great fun to watch or had some consequences in the careers of those involved.

Winners

Kailin Curran finally notched her first win in the UFC after a disappointing debut vs a frenetic Paige Van Zant and a heartbreaking submission loss to BJJ threat Alex Chambers in a fight she was dominating from the outset.
