The pre-fight faces in the UFC have always been inspiring and emotionally charged. While we may not come across them for another two weeks, by 2020 there were already plenty of hard faces.
In one of their latest videos on YouTube, the UFC has put together many face clips from 2020 that they thought were the most intense. With the combat action starting soon, this video will definitely make the fans go through it.
The video included some of the strongest facial expressions of 2020, such as the one between Paul Felder and Dan Hooker. Interestingly, their fighting was even better.
Forwards Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Weili Zhang also made the list, in which the former seemed to be at his best. Both straws went on to engage in a five-round slugfest, which is set to go down as the most spectacular female fight ever.
The fight of Tony Ferguson vs Khabib Nurmagomedov is far beyond the limits of ability now. But still, the lightweight stalkers had the final face of the whole drama, as Ferguson suddenly put his interim competition belt on the ground kicked Nurmagomedov.
Some other famous matches between Conor McGregor and Donald Cerrone, Israel Adesanya and Paulo Costa, and Henry Cejudo and Dominick Cruz also made the cut.
When is the next face-to-face UFC?
The UFC held their last event of 2020 on December 19, eventually by Stephen Thompson and Geoff Neal. The promotion will be back in effect after nearly a month on January 16, 2021.
