Ah, early morning MMA. At least that’s what UFC St. Petersburg was for fans in the Americas. There are few things I enjoy more. Though I thoroughly enjoy it, it could be improved upon with higher quality fights. Nonetheless, despite the lack of name value, we got a lot of quality. The first four fights delivered violent finishes before a slew of decisions came our way. However, save for a few exceptions, those decisions were entertaining. The event ended with a nice pop – not quite a bang – as Alistair Overeem turned away perpetual underdog Alexey Oleinik and Islam Makhachev and newcomer Armen Tsarukyan turned in the FOTN.
