‘UFC Fight Night: Sacramento’ medical suspensions

This past weekend, fight fans tuned in to UFC on FOX 22, also known as ‘UFC Fight Night: Sacramento’ for an action packed night of fights. While the preliminary card was certainly an exciting one, it was the main card on ‘Big Fox’ that left fight fans talking.

To kick off the main card, undefeated welterweight prospect Mike Perry stepped into the Octagon to fight Alan Jouban. The two men went to war, as Jouban used his precise striking to pick apart, and drop Perry several times throughout the fight, ultimately earning himself a unanimous decision win.

Next up on the main card, MMA veteran Urijah Faber stepped into the Octagon for the final time as he picked up a one-sided decision win over Brad Pickett in front of his hometown fans.

In the co-main event, young prospects Sage Northcutt and Mickey Gall stepped into the Octagon for a highly anticipated showdown. Although he went into the fight with much less experience than Northcutt, Gall managed to pick up a massive win as he submitted Northcutt in the second round.

In the main event, Michelle Waterson and Paige VanZant both made their highly anticipated returns to the Octagon as Waterson picked up a first round submission win.
