Time in the UFC moves quickly; all it takes is a fight or two for one’s career to turn around. A few years can make a newbie in the business turn into a champion. Let us look back at a 2015 UFC fight card, featuring champions like Kamaru Usman, that sent fans into a frenzy.

It is crazy to think that four champions fought in the prelims just a few years ago. This shows how time can either make or break a fighter’s career. These fighters have put in work throughout the years and reached the top level they are at today.

The main card featured three big fights. The first big fight was between Michael Johnson and Nate Diaz at lightweight. Diaz displayed his phenomenal striking skills, dominated the majority of the fight, and won a unanimous decision.

The next fight between Junior Dos Santos and Alistair Overeem was a thriller to watch. The two traded blows and put their all into each strike. This bout ended with ‘The Demolition Man’ brutally knocking out Santos in round 2. The main event of the night featured Donald Cerrone and Rafael dos Anjos battling it out for the lightweight title.
