UFC Fight Night 42 is done, and now we take the standard extra-close look at who really won and lost following Saturday night’s fights.
When you sit back and look at the card’s results, two distinct events went on.
The first? A sloppy, ugly, regional-level undercard. One mired by slow, boring fights. One where unranked part-timers leaned on each other and has-beens faced off with never-will-bes.
The second? A fun, interesting main card that was filled with elite contenders and exciting prospects. We saw the kind of human chess that is MMA at its finest.
So who were the biggest winners? The fans who showed up late and weren’t subjected to the horrors of mid-level MMA.
