When the UFC puts together a fight card like their latest Fight Night offering, they’re really gambling on one thing: whatever other action there is lower down on the undercard, the main event is going to deliver. When it doesn’t, everything else just feels a little less fun by association. That was the result on Saturday night, where Derek Brunson effectively blanketed Kevin Holland for a dominating win on the scorecards, but a snoozer for fans at home.
So, can Brunson use his more controlling style and smothering physicality to get to the belt? Is Macy Chiasson ready for a sizeable step up in competition?
