This past weekend saw some big wins take place between Bellator 243 and UFC on ESPN+ 32.
On Friday night in Uncasville, Conn., Michael Chandler entered free agency with a bang when he knocked out former UFC and WEC lightweight champion Benson Henderson in the Bellator 243 main event.
Then on Saturday night in Las Vegas, Derrick Lewis TKO’d Aleksei Oleinik in the second round of their heavyweight headliner at UFC on ESPN+ 32, while in the co-main event, ex-middleweight champ Chris Weidman knocked off Omari Akhmedov by unanimous decision.
What did those results do for each of the winners? Nothing.
