UFC Vegas 33: Live Results – Hall vs. Strickland
The Ultimate Fighting Championship touches down at the UFC Apex Center once again Saturday, July 31, 2021, for UFC Vegas 33, headlined by a pair of ranked middleweight strikers.
Those fun-to-watch ranked middleweights are Uriah Hall (No. 8) and Sean Strickland (No. 11), both of which are on four-fight win streaks coming into this bout.
Strickland has found his groove in his return to 185 lbs over the last ten months, while Hall is coming off victories over the No. 1 & 2, if not two of the greatest middleweights ever, Anderson Silva & Chris Weidman.
There were a few cancelled bouts tonight, such as the co-main event between Rani Yahya and Kyung Ho Kang, as well as Roman Kopylov versus Sam Alvey, Shamil Abdurakhimov versus Chris Daukaus, former title challenger Alex Perez versus potential future champion Askar Askarov, Nicco Montano missing weight by seven pounds, cancelling her bout with Wu Yanan, and a number of others.
However, we still have an eleven-fight card going down, and it’s always under-the-radar cards that deliver.
