UFC Vegas 117 featured 13 bouts and eight finishes, including four finishes on the six-fight main card. Arnold Allen defeated Melquizael Costa in the featherweight main event by five-round unanimous decision, ending Costa’s six-fight win streak. The decisive factors were grappling and transitions. A strong next matchup for Costa is a fight with Youssef Zalal, a ranked featherweight coming off a unanimous decision loss that snapped an eight-fight win streak. Zalal also previously lost to Aljamain Sterling, making the pairing a logical reset for both fighters. Doo Ho Choi fought Daniel Santos in a competitive bout and won by second-round TKO, using body shots to secure the finish.
