Brian Campbell provides his instant reaction to the UFC Fight Night card from Saturday in Abu Dhabi where Devieson Figueiredo finished Joseph Benavidez in their rematch to capture the vacant flyweight title. BC looks at what's next for the division and reacps a key 125-pound bout which could produce the next title challenger as Askar Askarov held off Alexandre Pantoja. Plus, Jack Hermansson re-entered the middleweight title picture with a quick submission of Kelvin Gastelum just as the division is heating up with Robert Whittaker-Darren Till next weekend and a Israel Adesanya-Paulo Costa title bout now set for September.
