The UFC’s final event of the 2023 started with a bang, but ended somewhat slow as UFC 296 unfolded at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The two championship fights to close out the calendar year saw both belts stay put. Leon Edwards (21-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) defeated Colby Covington (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) by unanimous decision to defend welterweight gold in the headliner, while Alexandre Pantoja (27-5 MMA, 11-3 UFC) also got the nod on the scorecards over Brandon Royval (15-7 MMA, 5-3 UFC) to retain flyweight gold.
