The UFC was forced to adjust its plans for International Fight Week when Conor McGregor withdrew, but the new main event was a success.
Light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira knocked out former champion Jiri Prochazka (30-5-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) in the headliner to cement his place, in the minds of many, as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. And in an insane turn of events, Diego Lopes went from fighting at featherweight on weigh-in day to a 165-pound catchweight against a new opponent just hours before his fight, defeating Dan Ige.
Plus, there was a 19-second finish, an elbow that nearly exposed someone’s skull, and more finishes and bloody fights at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
