The opening fight seemed to set the tone for the evening. The strawweight scrap between Ariane Carnelossi and Na Liang was short but action packed. By the time the main card rolled around, four fights had gone the distance and four ended before the second round came to a close.
The pay-per-view portion of the event flew by even with three title fights at the top of the card. None of the fights on the pay-per-view portion of UFC 261 made it to the third stanza. As far as solid fight cards go, UFC 261 has to be near the top of the list of UFC events in 2021.
