UFC Fight Night 254 on Saturday was one of the most unheralded events of the year so far going in.
There are metrics that are easy to see publicly, and ones that are behind the scenes, that made that true in the buildup. But like so many times before it, it became the little engine that could.
UFC Fight Night 254 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas featured nine finishes in 13 fights, including history with back-to-back women’s first-round knockouts and back-to-back kimura submissions. And now you can relive all of them above.
