UFC Vegas 107 may be the most disappointing event of the year after fights being cancelled before the event, as well as the main event being shut down in the last minute due to Maycee Barber suffering a seizure during her preparations for her Flyweight battle against Erin Blanchfield.
Despite that, some entertaining battles and showstopping finishes were still witnessed to at least give the MMA community some enjoyment. Here is everything that happened at the APEX.
preliminary card
Rayanne dos Santos and Alice Ardelean went into a gruelling war for three rounds as the fight went the distance with the Romanian's hand being raised, winning by unanimous decision. The two Strawweights would receive a Fight of the Night bonus for their efforts in the Octagon.
The event carried on with another thrilling contest between Bolaji Oki and Michael Aswell Jr with The Zulu Warrior claiming the unanimous decision win, despite a lot of respect being given to Aswell Jr on his UFC debut.
Jordan Leavitt had the pleasure of earning the first stoppage win of the night after quickly securing a first-round submission with an Anaconda Choke, making quick work of Kurt Holobaugh to claim long-awaited redemption.
