UFC 290

Mixed martial arts maintained its status as one of the most unpredictable sports in the world on one of its biggest stages of the year.

The odds painted a clear picture of who should win at UFC 290 Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena; the results failed to comply. Four of the final six fights on the pay-per-view card that concluded International Fight Week resulted in major upsets.

That included flyweight challenger Alexandre Pantoja knocking off champion Brandon Moreno in the co-main event by split decision (46-49, 48-47, 48-47).
