This evening’s fight card was supposed to be headlined by a key women’s flyweight bout featuring Maycee Barber taking on Erin Blanchfield. Unfortunately for fight fans, the main event was cancelled at the very last second, this after it was revealed that ‘The Future’ was no longer medically cleared to compete (see more on that here).

UFC Vegas 107 was co-headlined by a highly anticipated lightweight scrap between Mateusz Gamrot and Ludovit Klein. The bout resulted in a dominant showing from ‘Gamer’. The former KSW champion was able to utilize his impressive grappling skills to smother and overwhelm Klein for the majority of the fight, this while holding his own in the striking department. After three rounds it was clear that Gamrot had made it a clean sweep and would be walking away with a unanimous decision win.

Following the conclusion of tonight’s event, UFC officials announced at the post-fight press conference that four fighters would be taking home performance bonuses.
