It was a chaotic day for the UFC, but the night belonged to Eddie Alvarez.
The former Bellator champ added yet another belt to his trophy case with a shocking first-round stoppage of Rafael dos Anjos in the UFC Fight Night “Dos Anjos vs. Alvarez” headliner at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The end came 3:49 into the period as the Brazilian wilted under the pressure of a furious Alvarez barrage.
It was a memorable beginning to a massive weekend of fights, so there are plenty of facts and figures to examine.
