UFC 226: Live Results & Spoilers

UFC’s seventh annual International Fight Week concluded with a BANG in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Daniel Cormier owned the night at UFC 226. Cormier, with a first-round knockout, the 10th of his illustrious career, of defending champion Stipe Miocic, becomes the first fighter in UFC history to simultaneously hold the UFC Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight Championships. Randy Couture is the only other fighter in UFC history to win both championships, but did not hold each at the same time.

On a night full of surprises, underdogs winning was the dominant theme of the night:

Wow, all 5 underdogs on the UFC 226 main card won: Cormier, Lewis, Perry, Pettis and Rountree. Along with Klose and Whitemire earlier, 7 underdogs won tonight.

Following Cormier’s historic win, Brock Lesnar, current WWE Universal Champion, was called into the cage:

For me, as much as I love and respect the heart shown by Felder, his corner should've thrown the towel as soon as he confirmed that he broke his arm to them. Fight isn't close enough to justify not doing so imo, and the sport needs more of it. #UFC226

https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1015767961355730944

Raphael Assuncao is going to move to 11-1 in the UFC as a bantamweight. He has a win over the champ TJ Dillashaw and his only loss is to him but he probably gets passed over by the more flashy Marlon Moraes for the next title shot.
