For a card that seemed to be all about the main event, UFC Vegas 42 delivered.
I’m not sure how many people spent the bulk of their Saturday watching an ESPN+ fight card that was short on familiar names, but those who took the time to do so were rewarded. For those who passed on the live experience, I would implore them to carve out some viewing time to watch the event as soon as they can.
UFC Vegas 42 was chock full of finishes and the main event between former UFC featherweight champ Max Holloway and top contender Yair Rodriguez deserves to be discussed as one of the top fights of 2021.
