Saturday night’s UFC on ESPN 8 featured several razor-close fights, including two split decisions on the main card, as well as several upward-trending fighters who hit speed bumps in Jacksonville.

Walt Harris vs. Fabricio Werdum 2: Harris walked into the cage at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena as the sentimental favorite of any observer with a pulse. He walked out the same fighter we’ve known for the last couple of years: a borderline Top-15 heavyweight with numbing power—even by heavyweight standards—and well-established vulnerabilities in the wrestling and grappling departments.
