The UFC Austin card featured 13 fights. Nine of those contests ended before the start of the third stanza. Of the four fights that went the distance, none of those bouts took place in succession. The event seemed to please the UFC, as evidenced by the fact that the nine fighters who earned stoppages all earned $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonuses. One of the fights that went the distance, the main event matchup between top-10 ranked featherweights Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmett got the “Fight of the Night” nod.
The winner of the main event, Emmett, said after his victory that he wants to face the victor of the upcoming UFC 276 matchup between current 145-pound champion Alexander Volkanovski and ex-champ Max Holloway.
