UFC 328 was from start to finish. Great prelims too, but the main card was out of this world. Sean Brady got it started and absolutely overpowered Joaquin Buckley Had him grounded for basically the entire fight, winning a lopsided decision with scorecards of 30-25, 30-25, and 30-27. Then Volkov and Waldo gave a totally different kind of fight, trading punches back and forth, with Volkov using that crazy reach (6’7”) to control a big portion of the fight. Waldo was right in it though. Could have gone either way. Then came Van and Taira and gotta be one of the best fights I’ve seen in a while. Taira kept finding ways to get back in the fight after taking BRUTAL damage. He kept fighting back. There were moments it looked completely over, especially late, and somehow he was still defending himself and even going on the offensive. Van gets it done in at 1:32 Round 5 for the fight of the night. Sean & Chimaev battled it out. Didn’t agree with the decision, but amazing way to end it
