Check out the craziest highlights from Las Vegas in super slow motion
For the second straight pay-per-view, a pair of title fights at the top of the card ended with finishes.
Former featherweight champion Ilia Topuria (17-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) took out former lightweight champ Charles Oliveira (35-11 MMA, 23-11 UFC) in the first round with a vicious knockout to make history as the promotion’s latest two-division champion in the UFC 317 main event. He moved up to lightweight to go after a title in a second division and did exactly what he predicted he’d do.
In the co-main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja (30-5 MMA, 14-3 UFC) took his time and took apart challenger Kai Kara-France (25-12 MMA, 8-5 UFC) for a third-round submission and his fourth title defense.
In addition, the Fight of the Night masterpiece between Joshua Van (14-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) and Brandon Royval (17-8 MMA, 7-4 UFC) likely made Van next in line for a shot at Pantoja. The scrap was an all-timer, anyway, and in super slow motion, it’s even more insane.
