On the whole UFC Long Island was a fantastic card. Eight Performance Bonuses were handed out, indicative of how awesome the action in the Octagon was. However, it ended on a sour note due to Brian Ortega suffered a separated shoulder right as it appeared he was making his move to submit Yair Rodriguez, awarding Rodriguez an anticlimactic win. The victory could launch Rodriguez into a title fight with Alexander Volkanovski, but this outcome waters down the hype that would surround that fight if it were to be booked. However, there will be plenty of articles discussing that. I’m here to touch on the other fights and happenings on the card, dishing out my Unofficial Awards.
