UFC Fight Night 86 went down earlier today (April 10, 2016) live on FOX Sports 1 from Zagreb, Croatia.
The main event featured a vintage performance from former heavyweight champion Junior “Cigano” Dos Santos, as the Brazilian battered and bloodied previously surging contender Ben Rothwell over the course of five rounds, picking up a bounce-back unanimous decision victory.
Speaking of heavyweights, the ultra-powerful Derrick Lewis added yet another brutal finish to his resume in the co-main event, bulldozing through Gabriel Gonzaga in the first round.
The event featured a plethora of finishes, and provided a tremendous amount of action.
Let’s take a look at how Twitter reacted to the card below:
Brilliant performance by JDS. Vintage. Should be 50-45. #UFCZagreb

Dos Santos is looking good. That jab is sharp. Rothwell let up on his leg kicks and can’t close the distance on JDS. #UFCZagreb

The JDS of tonight can beat altitude Cain. #UFCZagreb
