The UFC Vegas 42 main card enjoyed a bunch of cool finishes, with a five-round war in the main event being the only decision. The marquee matchup of the day witnessed the UFC’s former featherweight champion, Max Holloway, winning a scrappy decision over the promotion’s #3 ranked featherweight, Yair Rodriguez.
The fight started pretty even on the feet, with Yair having the obvious edge in kicks, but Holloway having more punching power. Rodriguez had sneaky elbows, and Holloway had knees to the body in the clinch. The major difference came on the ground. Holloway enjoyed a lot of time of top and was able to dish out some punishment with the dominant positions.
