UFC Columbus was an awesome event even though it was decision-heavy. Curtis Blaydes cemented his position as a title contender with a KO win over Chris Daukaus in the headliner. While that didn’t make any rankings waves, a trio of 125-pound fights most definitely did.
In the co-headliner, Alexo Grasso picked up the biggest (and first submission) win of her career over Joanne Wood. Add that in with Manon Fiorot’s domination of former title challenger Jennifer Maia on the undercard, and you now have a women’s flyweight division that’s completely flip turned upside down. And on the men’s side, Kai-Kara France’s close win over Askar Askarov cost the latter a title shot and may have earned him one instead.
