UFC Adelaide wasn’t a good night of fights. The main event delivered. The co-main event wasn’t bad either. But too many other aspects of the card were depressing and the last two fights weren’t awesome enough to make up for that. There were other glimmers of hope on the card – Kai Kara-France and Elias Garcia put on a show, as did Sodiq Yusuff – but those moments were too fleeting for me to walk away from UFC Adelaide feeling good.
Nonetheless, despite my despondent attitude, there were those who walked out of the event in a much better place than they were walking into it.
