UFC Vegas 18: Overeem vs. Volkov - Unofficial Awards

Every single event in the UFC furthers along the narrative of company. Some competitors rise to the occasion, others fail spectacularly. Some sustain success for long periods of time, others often find it to be fleeting. Sometimes it is largely inconsequential parts of the narrative, other times it’s some of the central players. Fight Nights tend to focus more on the inconsequential players. Not in this case. UFC Vegas 18 saw several monumental occurrences for the stage, Cory Sandhagen emerging as the central player in a night that had several making worthy cases of taking that honor. I won’t be hitting all narratives in the traditional sense, but you can get a good picture of what happened with these awards.
