Following the adrenaline-pumping UFC 290, the leading MMA promoter returned with another thrilling event at the APEX, UFC Vegas 77. Even though the overall card may not have been the most memorable, the primary event offered some noteworthy moments, especially as Mayra Bueno Silva set herself up for a potential bantamweight title fight by securing a second-round submission win over ex-champion Holly Holm.
After UFC Vegas 77, MMA Hook analysts Jed Meshew, Eric Jackman, and José Youngs share their reactions to Bueno Silva’s impressive victory, Jack Della Maddalena’s challenging bout against Bassil Hafez who stepped in on short notice, the promising careers of lightweight contenders Francisco Prado and Nazim Sadykhov, the unvarying entertainment provided by “The Iron Turtle” Jun Yong Park, and what could potentially be the last women’s featherweight match in UFC history.
