The UFC returned to the Apex on Saturday, following a week off after holding a private event for Mark Zuckerberg on October 1. In the main event of that card, UFC Vegas 62, Alexa Grasso faced Viviane Araujo in a matchup between two highly-ranked flyweights. Grasso, who was the No. 5 fighter in the official flyweight rankings, topped the No. 6 ranked Araujo thanks to her superior striking skills.
In the co-main event, Jonathan Martinez made a statement by finishing Cub Swanson via leg kicks. The 28-year-old, who was unranked heading into the bantamweight bout, let everyone know after his win that he is ready to face ranked opposition — and maybe even a former UFC champion — in his next outing.
