There was a lot to like about UFC 266 going into the event and it might have exceeded expectations.
At the top of the card, we saw one champion, Alexander Volkanovski, dig deep and overcome adversity to get a dominant win and hopefully end any lingering doubt about his legitimacy as a UFC champion. In the other title fight, we saw a dominant titleholder, Valentina Shevchenko, tighten her grip on that belt with an overwhelmingly brilliant performance.
Before the headliners, we witnessed a rematch between Nick Diaz and Robbie Lawler that was 17 years in the making.
