Video: Which UFC 288 performance stood out the most, headliners aside?

The two fights atop the UFC 288 pay-per-view billing garnered the most attention entering and exiting the evening, but the undercard was filled with finishes and strong performances flying under-the-radar.

In the main event, bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling retained his title with a split decision win over Henry Cejudo. The co-main event saw Belal Muhammad dominated Gilbert Burns in a five-round title eliminator.

Those fights aside, which UFC 288 performance stood out the most? Was it one of the fighters mentioned above? Or was it someone else?

On the main card, Yan Xiaonan quickly dispatched of Jessica Andrade, to potentially earn her crack at women’s strawweight champion Zhang Weili.

There was Matt Frevola, who proved the oddsmakers wrong when he finished Drew Dober with strikes in the featured prelim. There was Kennedy Nzechukwu, who survived an early Devin Clark onslaught to put his opponent to sleep with a standing guillotine choke. Then, there was Ikram Aliskerov, who slept Phil Hawes with a nasty one-hitter quitter.
