The UFC’s first event of 2013 is officially in the books, and while the event didn’t travel great lengths to outline too many new contenders, fans did witness one highly touted middleweight knocked from an extravagant self-made pedestal.
While preliminary action saw quite a few dynamic exchanges and explosive finishes, the true magic could be found on the FX broadcast, where eight fighters put forth valiant attempts at moving forward within their divisions.
With just one of four main-card fights finding its outcome in the hands of the judges, there were fireworks to be found. However, while some rose to the occasion, some definitely stumbled and some found themselves trapped in a showcase of mediocrity.
Regardless of outcomes, for another free event, UFC on FX 7 yielded big cheers from this household, and should unquestionably be considered a success.
