The first flyweight title challenger in UFC history was determined in a UFC on FX 5 fight between John Dodson and Jussier Formiga. Dodson utilized a smart game plan to keep the fight standing and eventually scored a knockout in the second round to set up a meeting with champion Demetrious Johnson.
Antonio Silva also picked up a big win in the main event, stifling the up-and-coming Travis Browne. After losing badly to Cain Velasquez in his UFC debut, Silva’s standing as a highly-ranked heavyweight came under question. However, with this win over Browne, Silva has validated the hype that followed him from Strikeforce to the Octagon.
There were plenty of other memorable moments that took place at UFC on FX 5. With another UFC event in the history books, let’s take a look at the best and worst from Friday’s event.
