Payout Perspective:
Although International Fight Week was delayed this year, it still came through with some great performances at UFC 266. While Nick Diaz’s return was anticlimactic, the two title fights showed the dominance of Valentina Shevchenko and Alexander Vokanovski as they successfully defended their crowns.
