UFC Vegas 66 was a solid event as a whole, featuring several solid high-level fights, even if it wrapped on something of a blah note. Jared Cannonier and Sean Strickland fought five competitive rounds with consistent action. Typically, that would sound like a solid fight. However, with very few dramatic swings and few major moments from either fighter, it failed to make for a memorable bout.
Both men maintained a similar pace, landing consistently through the contest. Cannonier landed the harder shots, but Strickland landed the cleaner shots. It was a very difficult fight to judge that left most observers agreeing there wasn’t a definitive winner.
