IT wasn’t a UFC pay-per-view, but Winnipeg fight fans were treated to a pay-per-view-quality event Saturday night.
The UFC brought the eight-sided steel cage to Bell MTS Place for UFC on Fox 26. There were 11 fights — five ending in KO/TKOs and one via submission — topped off with a hard-hitting main event.
The main event featured two former UFC champions — Robbie Lawler and Rafael dos Anjos fighting in welterweight action. The winner of the bout would become the No. 1 contender to face Tyron Woodley for the UFC welterweight championship.
The fight lasted all five rounds, but it wasn’t close.
