UFC Vegas 116 Results: Aljamain Sterling Handles Business, Ryan Spann Smashes Buchecha, and Winnipeg’s Chaos Keeps Rolling Into Vegas

UFC Vegas 116 Results: Aljamain Sterling Handles Business, Ryan Spann Smashes Buchecha, and Winnipeg’s Chaos Keeps Rolling Into Vegas

UFC Vegas 116 was a better action card than most Apex nights

UFC went back to the warehouse again with UFC Fight Night: Sterling vs. Zalal, and this one actually gave people enough to talk about. It was not one of those dead Apex cards where everything blends together by the time the main event starts. There was control, there was weirdness, there were a few real momentum swings, and there were enough finishes and close fights underneath the headliner to keep the whole thing from feeling flat.

Aljamain Sterling handled the main event his way

The top fight, Aljamain Sterling vs. Youssef Zalal, ended the way a lot of Sterling fights do when he is in rhythm: lots of control, lots of awkwardness for the opponent, and a scorecard that did not leave much room for argument. Zalal had flashes, and there was even a moment where it looked like he might flip the fight, but Sterling’s experience and grappling pressure kept dragging it back under his control.

The best moments came from the fights around it

Joselyne Edwards vs. Norma Dumont gave the co-main event a real upset. Davey Grant vs. Adrian Luna Martinetti earned Fight of the Night because it felt exactly like the kind of scrap that saves a show from becoming too technical. Ryan Spann vs. Marcus Buchecha gave Spann a bonus-winning knockout, while Jackson McVey vs. Sedriques Dumas ended fast and got rewarded too. Even lower down, there were enough twists to keep the night moving.
