It had some bumps, some controversy, some funky judging and a horrible spot of refereeing and cornering—but in its entirety, UFC Tampa really couldn’t have gone much better than it did. The night’s least action-heavy fights ended with dramatic second round finishes, there were some fantastic subs and knockouts, and even when the fights went to decision they were fun and mostly competitive. Joanna Jedrzejczyk looked every bit like Joanna ‘Champion’ again, and Cub Swanson proved that he’s still a cut above the new breed of UFC prospects.
So, is there any way that Jedrzejczyk isn’t the strawweight top contender?
