UFC 306: A Noche to Forget
<p>A pretty underwhelming Noche UFC card didn’t deliver the action where the two title fights were concerned, but up to that point, we had a great run of fights, even if there was a dearth of finishes. There were only two finishes on the entire card. We did get a contender for round of the year (the decade even) with the third stanza of Zellhuber vs. Ribovics, which was an outstanding contest. </p><p>The production pizzazz didn’t really kick in much until the main card, aside from some color changing displays and the unique ring girl costumes, but once the main card got underway, we were treated to the dazzling AI displays in full 16K that didn’t quite translate on our subpar monitors and TV screens. But Norma Dumont won, and for that, Stephie and Zane can rejoice.</p><p>Let’s take a look at the results and bonuses. We even have an announced gate and attendance.</p><p><p>MMA Vivisection & 6th Round is a reader-supported publication.
