UFC Vegas 16 got off to an uncertain start after several opponent changes and last minute cancellations. However, the remaining Saturday night fighting did not disappoint. From a quick knockout to a five-round blast, this main card sure kept things interesting.
In the main draw, middleweights Jack Hermansson and Marvin Vettori went the distance in an all-out war, but in the end it was Vettori who unanimously took the biggest win of his career.
Jamahal Hill added another win to his unbeaten record with a second round TKO win over veteran Ovince Saint Preux in the co-main event.
Below you can see how fighters reacted to all night action in Las Vegas.
Now I know why Marvin calls out so loud to everyone that it’s okay
