UFC Vegas 21 came to an unfortunate conclusion with Belal Muhammad and Leon Edwards ending in a no-contest after an accidental eye poke by Edwards left Muhammad unable to fight.
It s the second week in a row that at least one main card fight ended with a foul. Petr Yan lost his bantamweight belt at UFC 259 after an illegal knee left Aljamain Sterling unable to continue.

UFC featherweight Dan Ige threw one punch. Ige landed one punch.
And that got the job done. What an efficient workflow Saturday night at the Apex in Las Vegas on the Fight Night undercard of the Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad main event.
The fight began with Ige and Gavin Tucker circling in the center of the cage and measuring each other for about 20 seconds. Then Ige unleashed a single right hand that landed flush on Tucker s chin, and Tucker fell stiffly backward. He had barely hit the canvas before referee Mike Beltran jumped in to wave off the fight as a knockout at 22 seconds.
