The NELK Boys witnessed a historic night at UFC 261
UFC 261 was arguably one of the best UFC pay-per-views of all time. The card featured three title bouts with Kamaru Usman vs. Jorge Masvidal II headlining the card.
The other two title fights featured the crowning of a new UFC strawweight champion in Rose Namajunas. Thug Rose had an emphatic performance over Zhang Weili and became a two-time UFC strawweight champion.
Valentina Shevchenko retained her UFC women's flyweight title with a dominant victory over Jessica Andrade. The champion put on an impressive performance against an opponent who many believed would be Shevchenko's toughest challenge to date.
The rest of the main card was marred by two gruesome injuries. Former middleweight champion Chris Weidman broke his leg against Uriah Hall in the second fight on the main card. Meanwhile, Jimmy Crute also couldn't continue in his fight against Anthony Smith after suffering severe damage to his leg.
