UFC 261 was embellished by the sold-out Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena. Fans were able to catch their favorite UFC stars compete inside the octagon after more than a year.

It certainly won't be an exaggeration to state that the PPV event exceeded all expectations. The presence of 15,000 fans present inside the arena formed an electric atmosphere making UFC 261 a special event.

While Rose Namajunas dethroned Zhang Weili to claim the strawweight championship, Kamaru Usman and Valentina Shevchenko retained their belts. It has become almost futile to expect Shevchenko to ever be beaten by anyone in her division.
