Summary

Joe Pyfer has arrived. On Saturday, Pyfer scored the biggest win of his MMA career, stopping former two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in the main event of UFC Seattle. The win not only launches Pyfer into the UFC’s Top 10, but it also raises serious questions about the fighting future for one of this generation’s greatest champions. Following UFC Seattle, MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and Alexander K. Lee react to Pyfer’s big win over Adesanya, and what the future holds for “The Last Stylebender.” Additionally, Meshew and Lee discuss whether UFC Seattle was the event of the year thus far, Alexa Grasso’s sensational finish, what the future holds for Maycee Barber, Michael Chiesa’s retirement, a plethora of other finishes and wild outcomes from the undercard, and more.
