The UFC showcased a Light Heavyweight bout tonight, Feb 19, 2022 at UFC Vegas 48. Replacing Raphael dos Anjos vs Rafael Fiziev, we had a match up between Johnny Walker and Jamahal Hill instead. In the co-main event we had a scrap between Kyle Daukaus and Jamie Pickett. Rounding out the main card were three additional fights between Parker Porter & Alan Baudot, Jim Miller & Nikolas Motta and Joaquin Buckley vs Abdul Razak Alhasson. Our featured prelim tonight was a brief affair between David Onama and Gabriel Benitez.
For all the results, reactions and much more detail on the main card and plenty of tidbits about the prelims as well, be sure hit play on the show to hear what our fight experts have to say about the event last night.
Overall, this 12-bout card saw four exciting first round finishes, including our main event, five thrilling KO/TKO’s, two sweet submissions, and five hard-fought decisions, one split. Rounding things out, two fighters were awarded for putting forth POTN efforts: Jamahal Hill, Kyle Daukaus, David Onama & Stephanie Egger; FOTN honors went to nobody this time around.
