Though the UFC had already been the first significant sports entity to return with recurring shows at its Apex facility in Las Vegas and Fight Island in the United Arab Emirates, something was clearly missing.
That s not the case anymore.
The octagonal mixed martial arts conglomerate welcomed about 15,000 ready-to-burst fans into Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday night, confirming the WE ARE BACK! claim that czar Dana White had tweeted upon announcing the show in early March.
Indeed, UFC 261 went off as a 13-bout show featuring three title fights atop a crowded bill, including a welterweight championship rematch between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal that was a runback of a match on Fight Island last summer that Masvidal famously took on less than a week s notice.

The UFC 261 bonuses have been released.
The pay-per-view event took place in Jacksonville, Florida at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. Headlining the card was a clash between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal for the welterweight title.
This fight saw Usman land a nasty straight right hand to knockout Masvidal then landed some hammer fists on the ground for good measure. Masvidal was clearly out and stayed classy in his post-fight interview.
The co-main event saw more action between Zhang Weili and Rose Namajunas for the women’s strawweight title.
This fight saw Rose catch her and dropped her with a head kick on the chin. Rose followed up with strikes on the ground for good measure. It only took one minute and 18 seconds. What a wild moment for both fighters. Weili was upset with the stoppage as she thought it was early while Rose was very emotional due to everything she had gone through.

What a night. What a card!
UFC 261 marked the promotion’s first show with a full set of fans in over a year and this event had everything. We had great fights, great finishes, even a mediocre fight with a dramatic ending, Jake Paul getting booed and confronting Daniel Cormier, nasty injuries, the whole shebang. Everything excepts fans wearing masks. (I kid. maybe)
The main event took everyone’s breath away not because the outcome of Kamaru Usman winning was a shock, but how he did it. Usman was a bit sloppy with his power punches in round one but in round two he uncorked a picture-perfect right hand that floored Masvidal and frankly knocked him out before he hit the ground. Herb Dean was not satisfied that Masvidal was wiped out and Usman needed hammerfists to put Jorge to sleep. Do you realize the last time Masvidal got knocked out? Rodrigo Damm back in 2008! And h
