UFC Vegas 18 had two MMA legends in the main fights, and both experienced devastating setbacks.
In the head move, multiple champion Alistair Overeem could not get past the size and strength of Alexander Volkov. .
Former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar’s dream of winning a UFC bantamweight title may have ended in a flying knee thrown by Cory Sandhagen, which hit him hard just 28 seconds after Saturday’s fellow main event sent.
See what benefits the UFC Vegas 18 had to say.
The MEME Alistear OVEREME !!!!

Yes. He is smart to know that he no longer has to trade at his age. He was cracked by Ngannou, but the power of people differs otherwise https://t.co/885bnupu2B

This cage feels too small for Reem and Volkov

Good iodine Volkov you are now playing on the big men’s field. Be careful it’s slippery # UFCVegas18

No respect for The Reem and Volkov, but here’s my main event! Let’s bring it here! Title shot in the wings. This division is DEEP! # UFCVegas18 #TheWeeklyScraps!

I always wondered why Frankie Edgar does the chest-bending thing before every fight # UFCVegas18

Edgar is a legend, time to move on. Good win for Cory. But hard to forget what my next opponent did to him. We’ll see what happens next

Very happy to see Johnson back at 155. There was a point where he beat 3 of the Top 5 guys with a lightweight. Guida looks like a wild rn tho! Like he turned back the clock of Father Time! # UFCVegas18 #TheWeeklyScraps!

Big fight between Guida and Johnson

It is NOT considered a TD for those watching! No control! I honestly wonder if judges know that position. Crazy pace for 3 RDs so far.# UFCVegas18 #

Is not Clay Guida about 50 years old!
– Platinum Mike Perry (@PlatinumPerry) 7 February 2021
It was a compliment. Dude has been in ufc for 30 years. I fell in love with Clay Guida. You guys in the comments just have trouble understanding https://t.co/xODlDHshDH

The production of Kape was far too low to win first or second. Pantoja should definitely win

Too much waiting and dancing for manel
– Belal Muhammad (@ bullyb170) 7 February 2021
This comment man. I think Pantoja clearly won that lol, why did they make it look so close

YOO! These guys are scrapping !! I like this new style of fighting for Dariush, but how many fights can you have like that, my question is? Right now it’s fun to watch! # UFCVegas18
– Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) 7 February 2021
Man, they’re both dogs having a fight
– Belal Muhammad (@ bullyb170) 7 February 2021
Judge to be fired

Impressive performance by Marques. Suffocating style that kills Rodriguez’s play until he suffocates # UFCVegas18
