UFC London was a card plagued by problems. An injury in the main event, a number of slow, grinding fights, and little in the way of finishes or moments of exciting action. While the main card built some solid momentum—behind stoppage wins for Molly McCann, Nikita Krylov, and Paddy Pimblett—all that came to a halt once again in the co-main, where Jack Hermansson and Chris Curtis fought to a somewhat tepid decision.
Curtis, who spent much of the fight struggling to cut off the cage or deal with Hermansson’s range kicking game, was visibly frustrated by the final bell and showed it with a pair of middle fingers and some unkind words for his victorious opponent.
