There’s something about MMA in England. Maybe it’s the fans. They love a great fight and the athletes feed off their energy. That led to an exciting and history-making card from London that saw not one but two literal last-second finishes (a first for the UFC), and multiple big-time upsets. Here are the full results for the last show until Khabib Nurmagomedov finally (maybe) fights Tony Ferguson for Conor McGregor’s lightweight title.
Main Card
-Alexander Volkov def. Fabrício Werdum via KO (round 4). A back and forth, plodding heavyweight battle sent Volkov into the title picture and Werdum back to the drawing board. Read our full recap here.
