UFC 231 is in the books. Max Holloway defended his crown and Valentina Shevchenko became the promotion’s newest champion.
There were six stoppages on the card, perhaps none more gruesome than Gunner Nelson’s bloody rear-naked choke of Alex Oliveria; yet none were more wild than the KO orchestrated by Thiago Santos over Jimi Manuwa.
Below is each and every one of them from the UFC’s latest trip to Toronto, Canada.
Enjoy the violence and give Kyle Johnson (@Maldobabo) and Tanuki Usman (@Hamderlei) a follow on Twitter:
