UFC 231 was a night of accolades for Hawaii’s Max Holloway, as he traded in his board shorts for a successful title defense in the land of the Maple Leafs. The No. 1-ranked Ortega gave a valiant effort in trying to defend the 236 significant strikes landed by the champ, but a doctor stoppage ended the 27-year-old’s night. Holloway earned Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night honors and was dubbed the “best featherweight ever” by Joe Rogan.
Valentina Shevchenko also started her historic reign as flyweight champion with her first title fight win at 125 pounds. She faced former strawweight champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk and delivered a dominant performance inside Scotiabank Arena.
