About This Episode
This was a great breakdown of the UFC card from Abu Dhabi that had the main event featuring the Flyweight world title. It was a rematch between Joseph Benavidez and Deiveson Figueiredo that ended in controversial fashion the first time. The was no controversy this time as Figueiredo knocked Benavidez down three times and finally submitted him with a rear naked choke. There is finally a belt holder after Henry Cejudo vacated the belt in February of this year. There would have been a champion just over a week later if Figueiredo had not missed weight. He won the first matchup after the collided heads with an accidental head butt that rocked Benavidez. Joe lost concentration and got knocked out. With their being no belt holder the UFC decided to let them settle it again this past weekend. There were a lot of good fights on this card and it was fun to watch and breakdown.
We also looked ahead to the last of the four consecutive cards on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi, The Main event of this card UFC Fight Night 174 is a middleweight matchup between Robert Whittaker vs Darren Till. I think everyone agrees that this should be a great battle between two top contenders. There are also three legends of the sport on the card fall from Brazil. Shogun Rua, Fabricio Werdum and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira are all fighting at this event.
Enjoy the breakdown.
