It’s been two weeks since Khabib Nurmagomedov won the UFC lightweight belt, and the aftershocks are still being felt. The featherweight and lightweight divisions are in a flux despite having two of the best champions in recent years in Max Holloway and Nurmagomedov, so in a way, we’re lucky they didn’t fight back at UFC 223— Atlantic City may have produced some familiar contenders.

Here are the full results and the best highlights from the slow-paced show that had plenty of good moments.

Main Card

-Kevin Lee def. Edson Barboza via doctor’s stoppage (round 5). Lee reminded the world why he was challenging for the title just months ago.

-Frankie Edgar def. Cub Swanson via unanimous decision. Read our full write up here.

-Justin Willis def. Chase Sherman via unanimous decision

-David Branch def. Thiago Santos via KO (round 1)

Fox Sports 1 Prelims

-Ryan LaFlare def. Alex Garcia via unanimous decision

-Ricky Simon def. Merab Dvalishvili via TKO. This was by far one of the most bizarre finishes in recent MMA history. Dvalishvili was winning, and wasn’t out, but he lost via TKO after the fight was over? Read our recap here.
