MMA Fighting’s 2019 Event of the Year: UFC 236

How could an event headlined by two interim title fights take the top spot on this much debated list? Was there a barnburner of prelim fight? Sure. Was there a violent sub-minute knockout earlier in the night? Yes, indeed. Did we witness a fighter gain revenge with a suffocating submission? Absolutely.

But were any of these scraps the reason this entire event is held in such high regard? Not even close.

While early fights did their job to keep fans’ attention, no one was prepared for the hurricane of blood and violence awaiting them at the end of the night.
