While the focus is on the main card, there also were some major stories coming out of the undercard. As with every card, there will be questions answered and lessons learned. So let's take a look at what happened at UFC If popularity was a way to measure a fighter's abilities in the cage, Mayhem would likely be one of the best middleweights in the world.
Unfortunately for Miller, popularity has very little to do with how someone performs in the octagon. Yes, he did look to be in the best shape of his career. But that doesn't mean anything if he can't show that he belongs.
He went on record prior to this fight saying that if he couldn't beat Dollaway, he would retire from MMA. I doubt that he actually retires, but with last night's news that he was cut from the UFC, it's likely we won't see him on the national stage again.
Jacob Volkmann is one of the best pure grapplers in the lightweight division. It's pretty obvious if you've ever seen him fight as he rarely looks to keep a fight standing. Knowing this, it was difficult to pick Sass against the smothering wrestler.
Paul Sass proved that while he may not be strong on his feet, he's one of the best when fighting off his back. The way he set up the triangle was fantastic and that finish was even more impressive as Volkmann is one of the harder fighters to submit. Shane Del Rosario. Stefan Struve. Lavar Johnson.
