UFC Fortaleza was a feel-good event for longtime fight fans. When veterans like Demian Maia, Jose Aldo, and Charles Oliveira all get big wins, it makes for a fun night. And when it’s topped off by a great first-round finish in the headliner? That’s just icing on the cake.
When it comes to the rankings, they were actually affected by a few of these results. Oliveira is now ranked at lightweight, while Aldo and Marlon Moraes are now the new top contenders in their respective divisions. Neither man is likely to get a title shot any time soon, but it’s still pretty cool to see.
