Raul Rosas Jr. picked up the win in his first UFC main event despite being down 3-1 on all of the judges’ scorecards heading into the final round against Raoni Barcelos. Then, Rosas lands a takedown in the fifth round, and all of a sudden, Barcelos was out cold and not moving to put a big of a frightening cap on one of the best UFC fights of the year.
Following Saturday’s UFC Vegas 121 card, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the UFC’s return to the Meta APEX, Rosas getting the win, the scary ending to the fight, and updates on Barcelos’ condition following the main event. Additionally, they’ll discuss the lackluster co-main event grudge match between Ailin Perez and Norma Dumont, the scoring of the fight for Perez, Luis Hernandez’s breakout performance, other standout moments, the crowning of two new TUF champions — including one by disqualification — and more.
