UFC Vegas 81 stays at the UFC Apex for a stacked fight card from top to bottom. We have a featherweight main event fight between two surging contenders in the division Sodiq Yusuff and Edson Barboza. Yusuff has been streaking winning 8 of his last 9 fights with his only UFC loss coming against one of the top contenders in the division Arnold Allen as he comes into his first UFC main event fight of his career. Meanwhile, this is Barboza’s third main event fight, and is coming off of an early brutal knockout victory against Billy Quarantillo. A win from either fighter will propel them up the featherweight rankings as they move closer to a potential title shot in the future.
In Yusuff’s last fight, he made quick of short-notice newcomer Don Shainis submitting him via guillotine choke in just 30 seconds into the first round. He walked away with an estimated base salary of $75,000, with a win bonus and promotional bonus he walked away with an estimated $156,000
