UFC 251: Usman vs. Masvidal - Fights to make

While the title fight portion of UFC 251 may have provided as many causes for complaint as they did thrills and high level action, it’s undeniable that the event left fans with plenty to talk about. Kamaru Usman stifled Jorge Masvidal to erase any and all doubt that he’s the king of the welterweight division. Alexander Volkanovski scraped by Max Holloway, providing even less clarity in his hopes to separate himself as a dominant champion at 145 lbs. And Petr Yan battled through adversity to unquestionably snatch the crown at bantamweight, and then got about three more minutes to really drive that claim home.
