Prior to the main event, Dustin Poirier solidified his place in the lightweight division with a knockout win, while Michael “Venom” Page made a successful UFC debut with a decision victory over Kevin Holland. Jack Della Maddalena stunned the crowd with a knockout victory over Gilbert Burns, and Petr Yan denied Song Yadong a top ranking with a surge in the final two rounds.
Overall, UFC 299 was a night filled with excitement and surprises as fighters battled it out in the octagon. Fans left the Kaseya Center buzzing with anticipation for the next event, eager to see who will come out on top in the highly competitive world of mixed martial arts.
