The Thanksgiving holiday led right into a big weekend for the UFC, what with their many announcements and all.

Conor McGregor is no longer the UFC Featherweight Champion, even though McGregor himself is reportedly saying he didn’t relinquish it voluntarily. UFC issued a statement weighing in on the matter. Jose Aldo is the new UFC Featherweight Chaampion again, even though Anthony Pettis and Max Holloway are already fighting for an “Interim” title in what is now the new UFC 206 main event for the 12/10 PPV in Toronto. The original main event fell through on Friday when Daniel Cormier had to pull out of his originally scheduled rematch against Anthony “Rumble” Johnson, who reportedly turned down an offer to fight replacement opponent Gegard Mousasi in the new main event that UFC initially tried setting up.

Oh yeah, and the UFC made their return to Australia on Saturday evening with a show that featured another surprise retirement announcement, as well as a first-round KO in the main event.

UFC Fight Night 101 took place live from the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia last night, airing on FS1 with a main card that included Robert Whittaker finishing Derek Brunson via first-round knock out and longtime UFC fighter and former TUF Nations coach Kyle Noke retiring after a loss.

In the main event of the UFC’s Fight Night 101 from Melbourne, Australia last night (Saturday November 26, 2017), the Australian crowd really got their money’s worth in the show’s featured bout.

The main event of the evening featured native Australian Robert Whittaker who took on the surging knockout artist Derek Brunson, in a clash of two of the best 185-pound prospects that the UFC has to offer.

The first round started off with a bang as Brunson swarmed the Australian with his usual high-powered offense, dazing Whittaker a number of times as he staggered across the Octagon in attempt to distance himself and regroup from the nasty blows.

Whittaker was able to regain his wits and land a massive counter punch that put Brunson out on his feet, and the Australian was able to finish his opponent on the ground with strikes before the referee waved it off and the Rod Laver Arena erupted.
