Yes, that is a normal-sized man standing in between Shamil Abdurakhimov and Derrick Lewis. OK, maybe he’s not on a podium or something, but still.
Heavyweights were on parade at UFC Fight Night 102, which went down Friday from Albany, New York. In the main event, one of the sport’s hardest hitters in Lewis tangled with Abdurakhimov, a relatively undistinguished competitor hailing from the Dagestan republic in Russia.
Everything seemed set up on a tee for Lewis to brighten his star with a highlight-reel knockout. But did it go that way? MMA is a funny, funny thing sometimes.
In the co-main event, more heavy hitters joined the party with Francis Ngannou and Anthony Hamilton. Two light-heavyweight matchups rounded out the main card.
So was there big leather to match the big bodies? And what about the rest of the card? As always, the final stat lines only reveal so much. These are the real winners and losers from UFC Fight Night 102.
Full card results appear on the final slide.
