It was not easy to sit through UFC Sacramento. Of the first nine contests, eight entered the third round. That doesn’t mean the contests sucked, but it did mean the contests were long winded. If fight fans wanted to leave the event with a good feeling, something had to change. Starting with Josh Emmett knocking the block off Mirsad Bektic, the card closed with three consecutive first round finishes. While there was some controversy behind two of those finishes, it’s hard to find a better way for a drawn out card to end itself. Plus, it’s rare a legendary fighter comes out of retirement only to add a story book chapter to their career the way Urijah Faber did in the co-main event.
