Earlier tonight (Sat. December 15, 2018) the UFC held their final event on FOX before switching over to ESPN next year.

UFC on FOX 31 was a tremendous send off for the mixed martial arts (MMA) promotional juggernaut’s longtime broadcast partner. In the co-main event, Edson Barboza provided FOX a highlight reel finish. He stopped Dan Hooker with a nasty third-round body shot after brutalizing Hooker’s midsection with several previous strikes. 

Hooker battled through the pain for quite some time, but finally succumbed to a huge punch on his stomach that forced him to fold over. It was a marvelous performance from Barboza, who will likely receive a big match-up next. Check out how the MMA community reacted to the finish here:
