After JDS dropped out of the main even, the fairest thing that could be said of UFC Moscow was, that it could be a potential showcase for regional talent—and had a decently meaningful main event at the helm. In practice, that made for a card that most fans could pretty easily skip. A few highlight moments, a couple decent wars (including that main event), but largely a day that delivered neither high-octane action, nor meaningful results.
So, can the UFC really give Zabit a title shot after gassing in a three round fight again? And did Alexander Volkov make the right move by fighting for the win, and not the finish?
