UFC 231 snapped a few pieces of reality sharply into place. Valentina Shevchenko really is an undeniable physical force at 125 lbs. Gunnar Nelson is still an elite talent at welterweight. And Max Holloway is clearly head-and-shoulders above the crowd at featherweight. If the lead-up to this weekend’s PPV was filled with questions, what went down on Saturday, December 8th in Toronto, Ontario, Canada was all about finding answers.
Of course, the more answers a person gets, the more questions they have. So, is Max Holloway’s future at lightweight? Is there anyone at flyweight to challenge Valentina Shevchenko?
