UFC 303 suddenly came to life during a fiery bantamweight fight between Macy Chiasson and Mayra Bueno Silva.
Although the fights between Ian Gary and Michael Page and Roman Dolidze and Anthony Smith didn’t really produce results, the women stole the show with a controversial bloodbath on Sunday.

Chiasson won the second fight on the card by TKO after the Octagon side doctor interfered.
Bueno Silva was taken open over the eye by Chiasson’s elbow after a moment when the Brazilian was pinned to the floor.
Prior to this incident, Bueno Silva was in scintillating form during the first round.
She was ahead 46-35 in total strikes and 40-26 in significant strikes, but that all changed in the second round.
With the nasty wound so deep and close to the eye, the doctor had no choice but to end the fight.
“There’s blood everywhere,” UFC commentator Daniel Cormier said.
“I can’t even look at it. This is disgusting.”
But the decision infuriated Bueno Silva.
She quickly dismissed the call and then argued her case to UFC boss Dana White.
White was clearly powerless to do anything and the score stood.
After the bloodbath at bantamweight, Chiasson, 32, said: “I was hoping we would go on.”
However, that never happened to MMA Fighting blogger Jed Meshew, who compared the cut to an “axe wound” to the head.
“This is among the worst cuts we’ve ever seen in the UFC,” he said.
“You can basically see the skull of Mayra Bueno Silva. It’s a huge wound. There is no way this is going to continue.”
The win potentially puts Chiasson (10-3) in the top three of the women’s bantamweight division, but it’s another disappointing blow for Bueno Silva (10-4-1, 1 NC).
