UFC 266 proved to be a tremendous success. If I’m being fair, it’s hard to think of the last time the UFC had a disappointing PPV, but there were several fights deserving of a FOTN consideration, a couple of them perhaps deserving FOTY consideration. At the very least, there were rounds that were instant classics. One of those fights may have turned featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski into a star, turning in a rare performance in which he was dominant, but was still threatened to drop his title to a game Brian Ortega. Of course, the fight most fans were interested in leading into the event delivered as Robbie Lawler and Nick Diaz delivered a satisfying encore to their classic from 2004.
