Best Fight: Guaylupo vs Connor It may be crazy to give a unanimous 30-27 bout this award, but Guaylupo and Connor landed over 200 strikes each in this fight – a number that would’ve broken the record for most significant strikes in a UFC lightweight bout. Need I say more? Just an absolute

Ryuho Miyaguchi (7-1) vs Mateus Soares (11-2) Miyaguchi is a striker who can be too patient at times, but he gets busy if he’s engaged first. His knees to the body in the clinch, and from the ground, are big setup pieces when he goes for the finish. Soares is a fast twitch counter
