Summer officially started this evening in the Northern Hemisphere, and like the setting sun, the wrestler wrestled the striker. Curtis Blaydes landed his personal, and broke the UFC heavyweight record in single-fight takedowns with 14. Almost an inevitability, Alexander Volkov, a brown-belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, had little answer to the rag-dolling approach of the Colorado fighter . In the co-main event, a FOTY contender emerged in a gritty battle between underrated featherweight slugger Josh Emmett and prospect-nearly-contender Shane Burgos. In other highlights, veteran nice-guy Jim Miller handed Roosevelt Roberts a shredded arm, fellow veteran Tecia Torres halted the rise of another prospect, and Bobby Green found a much-needed win over Clay Guida. Here are the full results from last night:
