UFC 241 is now in the books, an exciting event that produced many storylines. The main event saw former heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic take on Daniel Cormier in a rematch from their first fight at UFC 226, where “DC” won via first round knockout. This time the fight went longer, but it was Miocic who rebounded with a fourth round knockout, regaining the championship.

In the co-main event fan favourite Nate Diaz returned for the first time in years, facing former lightweight champ Anthony Pettis in a grudge match. Diaz won a clear cut unanimous decision, looking fresh and not showing any sign of ring rust.

Middleweight Paulo Costa remained unbeaten after taking on two-time title challenger Yoel Romero. While Costa won the fight via unanimous decision, the scoring has been disputed by many fans. Full results below.
