Saturday’s UFC Vegas 43 fight card featured 11 fights and one stoppage. It wasn’t the polar opposite of last week’s UFC Vegas 42 event, which featured 11 bouts and nine finishes, but it was a bit of a letdown, especially if you consider UFC 267 and UFC 268 were the events that took place immediately before UFC Vegas 42.
The card didn’t provide definitive answers about the upside of rising welterweight Sean Brady or the feasibility of Ketlen Vieira as a potential future champion. Yes, there were some bright moments, like the 135-pound scrap between Adrian Yanez and Davey Grant, Pat Sabatini’s development and Rani Yahya’s ability to keep doing what he’s been doing for years, but mostly, UFC Vegas 43 was a fight card that was just kind of, well, there.
