It was a big-time weekend in the world of combat sports, as the UFC, Bellator, ONE Championship and Legacy Fighting Alliance all held cards.
And of course, there was also the Canelo Alvarez vs. Daniel Jacobs boxing match that saw Alvarez leave Las Vegas with three of the four middleweight titles.
The UFC finished things up Saturday night with Donald Cerrone besting Al Iaquinta for his promotion-leading 23rd career win inside the Octagon. “Cowboy” also picked up his 17th fight-night bonus, which is tops in the UFC.
Bellator headed overseas with former champion Brent Primus scoring a submission victory vs. Tim Wilde.
