This previous Saturday concluded a marathon of UFC action that consisted of three occasions in 7 days on “Battle Island” at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. From UFC 251 to UFC on ESPN 13 to UFC on ESPN+ 30, a total of 36 fights unfolded over from July 11 to July 18, and theres a lot to digest from that time.

There were remarkable performances provided in championship bouts, matches between competitors and fighters making their launchings. Which effort left the strongest enduring impression, though? MMA Junkies Farah Hannoun, John Morgan and Simon Head dispute in the most current edition of Triple Take.
Farah Hannoun: Deiveson Figueiredo
Deiveson Figueiredo
There are numerous 125-pounders chomping at the bit to get their crack at the title, but Figueiredo appeared like an unstoppable force that may rule the division for a very long time.
Couple of thought of Figueiredo (19-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) would have the ability to run through Benavidez like that, dropping him three times and becoming the first man to ever send him. While Figueiredo did stop Benavidez in Round 2 of their first fight, it was a competitive fight where Benavidez was able to win the preliminary.
Benavidez has actually never ever won a UFC title, hes been a staple in the 125-pound department, taking out just about every flyweight on the lineup, including a choice win over previous UFC dual-champ Henry Cejudo. However Figueiredo was a guy on an objective that night and desired to eliminate the concept that he only won the first battle since of an inadvertent head butt.
Deiveson Figueiredos performance versus Joseph Benavidez at UFC on ESPN+ 30 will decrease as one of the most dominant championship wins in UFC history.
