UFC 185 took place on Saturday, March 14th at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. In the main and co-main events we saw two new champions crowned in dominate fashion. Carla Esparza had her takedowns continually stuffed by Joanna Jedrzejczyk and was picked apart on the feet for nearly two full rounds until the contest was stopped via TKO. In the main event, Rafael dos Anjos used his grappling and pressure to take Anthony Pettis to the mat at will and win a clean sweep, earning three 50-45 scorecards.
