5 Fights We Need to See After UFC 299
The UFC matchmakers have some important decisions to make after Saturday's UFC 299 card in Miami.
The stacked event was headlined by a bantamweight title fight, with champion Sean O'Malley taking on challenger Marlon "Chito" Vera—the man behind the only loss of his career to date. The second time around, O'Malley evened the score with a wide decision win, cementing himself as the true king of the bantamweights in the process.
In the co-headliner, lightweight legend Dustin Poirier rebounded from a tough knockout loss to Justin Gaethje with a thrilling knockout win over streaking French contender Benoit Saint-Denis.
