The Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York was home to a decent night of fights, with three (T)KOs, two submissions and eight decisions, including three split-decisions. Three of the four fights on the main card saw the underdog come out victorious and two-thirds of the fights on the card as a whole ended in an upset. Former Middleweight champion Chris Weidman got himself back into the win column, as well.
Performances of the Night: Alex Oliviera and Junior Albini
“Cowboy” Oliveira came in as the underdog to New York’s own Ryan LaFlare and after a first round that saw the Brazilian stifled and controlled on the ground, it looked like we were in for a 15-minute decision.
