Here's my recap as Dricus du Plessis dethroned Sean Strickland with a split decision win in the main event to become middleweight champion ... and he immediately turned his attention to Israel Adesanya afterwards

48-47 is the correct scorecard... I have it for Sean Strickland but absolutely could see that going the other way for Dricus du Plessis.

It's razor-close no matter what.

Probably the best round so far for Dricus du Plessis. He bloodied Sean Strickland and that was really affecting him.

Raquel Pennington should cruise to victory here to become the new women's bantamweight champion.

That fight was exhausting to watch.

10-9 Mayra Bueno Silva.

Once she got the takedown, Pennington was stuck playing defense and that's where they stayed for the final two minutes of the round.

WOW!!! Neil Magny with an UNBELIEVABLE comeback to reverse Mike Malott and punish him with strikes from the mount to get the third-round finish.

Unreal! Neil got that dog in him!

main card minus Ikram Aliskerov - he suffered an injury and he’s no longer competing, per the broadcast. Fluffy Hernandez needs a new opponent
