5 biggest takeaways from UFC 247: Jon Jones’ GSP vs. Hendricks moment and more

Thoughts about the biggest storylines coming out of UFC 247, which took place Saturday in Houston.

5. Fortis MMA’s turn in fortune

I spent most of 2019 praising the Dallas-based Fortis MMA team for its tremendous success and 19-4 UFC record over the course of the year, so it seems only fair that we point out a rare rough night in which the team went 0-3.

Alex Morono and Miles Johns were both stopped in their fights, while Austin Lingo lost a decision in the opening bout on the card. It took one night for the team to nearly match its loss total for the previous year, and that goes to show the brutal and unpredictable nature of the sport these athletes play.

One bad evening by no means brings head coach Sayif Saud’s leadership into question, though. He’s still one of the very best in the game, and I have no doubt the results will turn back for the better in short order.
