On Saturday night, the mixed martial arts leader returned for its latest pay-per-view event, UFC 303.
International Fight Week unfolded in Las Vegas across recent days, with the headline act taking place inside the T-Mobile Arena. The venue hosted a number of intriguing matchups on June 29, with the championship rematch between Alex Pereira and Jiří Procházka leading the way in main event.
Like those two, Brian Ortega and Diego Lopes were also scheduled to do battle on short notice. But the eventual co-main event matchup brought a whole new meaning to late notice, with Dan Ige stepping in just hours before to replace an ill “T-City.”
The main card was made up of some more prominent contenders like light heavyweight veteran Anthony Smith and bantamweight standout Mayra Bueno Silva, who followed a highly anticipated first bout on PPV between the undefeated and uber-confident Ian Garry and striking specialist Michael “Venom” Page.
Elsewhere, notable names like Joe Pyfer, Cub Swanson, Payton Talbott, and Michelle Waterson-Gomez all looked to leave T-Mobile Arena with victories. But did they come together to form an entertaining night of fights?
