UFC 224: Nunes vs. Pennington - Winners and Losers
Understandably, there wasn’t a lot of excitement around UFC 224. Even though the UFC has had plenty of opportunities to push and promote women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes, they have failed to do so, leading to a lukewarm reception to her headlining this card. Despite that, UFC 224 was top-to-bottom the best card of 2018 so far. Eleven of the thirteen contests featured a stoppage, many of them spectacular. The one main card contest that went the distance was one of the better fights of 2018, and the fight of the night between Jacare Souza and Kelvin Gastelum.
