The UFC put on a very entertaining free card on FOX Sports 1 this past weekend (Sun., Feb. 18, 2018) with UFC Fight Night 126 from Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas, a card that seemingly eclipsed the past few pay-per-views in terms of overall action.

In the main event, Donald Cerrone delivered a record 20 UFC wins with a TKO over a game but starstruck Yancy Medeiros.

Derrick Lewis got back on track with a TKO victory in a sloppy affair that saw “The Black Beast” fall backward for no real reason at all.

New names emerged, and others keep plugging along. Sage Northcutt got by on an extremely close decision over Thibault Gouti, and Thiago Alves got destroyed by a promising UFC newcomer.

Let’s take a look at what fights should be made after Sunday night!

5. Sage Northcutt vs. Joe Lauzon

After a decently-sized sample of fights to examine, Northcutt may be better off at lightweight than welterweight. Even though he won a contested decision on Sunday against Thibault Gouti, his UFC losses have all come at welterweight, so he will need to focus his attention on the 155-pound division if he has any designs of becoming a serious contender.

Now is the time to test him against a veteran to either win and gain some clout with a big name or give that same veteran an opportunity to school a young fighter and breathe a little more vitality into what is left of their fighting career.

Lauzon is the perfect man for the job. Although he’s coming off of a brutal KO loss to Clay Guida, Lauzon is always game and deserves another fight given his loyalty to the UFC for many years. If he can’t beat Northcutt, a young up-and-comer, he will ultimately have to evaluate how much more time he has left in this sport.

This sport has a tendency to cannibalize its older fighters once they have no use for them, almost like the horses in the book Animal Farm. Unfortunately, the end of a fighter’s career usually ends abruptly and often times, sadly. Here’s an opportunity for Lauzon to end on a possible high note.

UFC Fight Night 126 went down tonight (Sunday, February 18, 2018) from the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, TX. The headliner featured action heroes Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Yancy Medeiros. They did not disappoint, engaging in a one-round slugfest that Cerrone would win by buzzer-beating TKO.

In the co-main event, heavyweight finishers Derrick “The Black Beast” Lewis and Marcin Tybura looked to get back on the winning track at the expense of each other. It would be Lewis who would leave with the ‘W’. He had to endure some rough moments on the mat underneath a suffocating Tybura to get it, though. In the third round, Lewis climbed to his feet after another Tybura takedown, disengaged, and mollywopped the Pole with a series of hooks in close quarters for the TKO victory.

Also, after the co-main event, Nate Diaz made a brief appearance on the FS1 broadcast, and in typical Diaz fasion, he did not disappoint.
