UFC 223 Standout Performances

The UFC returned to Brooklyn for the first time since UFC 208 for UFC 223. The main event saw undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov take on last minute replacement, Al Iaquinta, for the undisputed lightweight title. Plus, in the co-main event, strawweight champion, Rose Namajunas took on Joanna Jedrzejczyk in their UFC 217 rematch. The card only saw nine total fights of the originally scheduled thirteen take place due to four cancellations. All nine fights were very entertaining and many performances stood out among the rest.
