UFC Vegas came and went with little fanfare, the top of the card not delivering much, despite a number of thrilling prelims. Sean Strickland never kicked his attack into high gear, but still found enough success to outpoint Jack Hermansson—once the ‘Joker’ failed to find a way to put Strickland on his back. And unfortunately, the co-main event between Nick Maximov and Punahele Soriano started with some promise, but quickly devolved into a grinding affair.
However, the rest of the card delivered the goods. Julian Erosa and Steven Peterson delivered the type of performance fighters dream about, ensuring the card was worth watching solely for their fight alone.
