The UFC Vegas 55 main card had the look of a grind from the very outset, most notably due to the main event bout between former champ Holly Holm and rising contender Ketlen Vieira. And while Michel Pereira and Santiago Ponzinibbio thrilled, and Chidi Njokuani stole the show, the night very much ended on a note of struggle.
So, did Vieira do enough to make herself the next bantamweight title contender? Is Michel Pereira finally the top 10 fighter he’s had the clear potential to be? And how big a step up should Njokuani get after two straight highlight KO wins?
