It seems like it’s been forever since a set of UFC prelims came through with even close to what was delivered Saturday in Seattle.
If it’s finishes you wanted, you got them – a perfect seven for seven on the early card. The main card delivered a bonus-worthy stoppage, too.
It had been well more than a decade since the UFC set up shop in Seattle, and it gave the fans at Climate Pledge Arena all kinds of highlights to make up for the time away.
Relive all of them above.
