Also featured are Cory Sandhagen’s devastating flying knee knockout of former UFC champion Frankie Edgar, Jiri Prochazka making Dominick Reyes face-plant with a spinning back elbow, and Edson Barboza causing Shane Burgos’ body to shut down in never-before-seen fashion.

The UFC’s next six months of events kick off next Saturday with UFC 264 in Las Vegas, headlined by the trilogy bout between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor.
