Very few people walked away from UFC Norfolk feeling satisfied. It isn’t that the action was subpar. In fact, the action was pretty damned awesome. On a card of 12 fights, there were 8 finishes, including the entirety of the main card. What had people leaving wanting more was the fight between Joseph Benavidez and Deiveson Figueiredo, didn’t crown a new flyweight champion. Figueiredo missed weight, making him ineligible to claim the title. When he finished off Benavidez in the second round with a heavy right hand, it left the division without a champion.
There is also some uncertainty with the women’s featherweight division as both Felicia Spencer and Megan Anderson made claims for a title shot against Amanda Nunes, and the champion made no indication with who she was most impressed with.
