The UFC continues to highlight pivotal moments and dominant champions in mixed martial arts. Ten years ago, Ronda Rousey secured her last victory in the UFC with a swift TKO over Bethe Correia, marking the end of her era after subsequent title losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes. Meanwhile, Reinier de Ridder regards Israel Adesanya's comeback knockout against Alex Pereira and his heartfelt post-fight speech as one of the greatest moments in MMA history, a view shared by fans and commentators like Joe Rogan. Current middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis has established himself as a formidable force with multiple title defenses and sees rising heavyweight Tom Aspinall as a future long-term champion due to his unique agility and grappling skills. The UFC also prepares for upcoming events at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, featuring a flyweight matchup and showcasing veteran fighters competing across various regional promotions. These narratives underscore the evolving landscape of MMA, celebrating both historic legacies and emerging talents poised to shape the sport's future.
