UFC on Fox 9 in Sacramento, Calif., was turning out to be a dud of a card. Then, the later portion of the main card came to save us all.
The card was full of decisions and lacked the intrigue that came with it coming into Saturday. The main event and co-main event both saw finishes, as Urijah Faber choked out Michael McDonald while Demetrious Johnson retained his flyweight title by knocking out Joseph Benavidez.
With the subpar card in general coming in unison with the exciting two finishes to end the event, how was the main card? Let’s take a look at the four fights and grade all eight fighters.
