GREATEST FIGHTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN NEW YORK 🗽

Madison Square Garden is the organizing idea, rather than a single fighter or championship belt. UFC's collection of fights from the arena has drawn roughly 2.2 million views in ten hours, a start far beyond the channel's usual pace for its longest uploads.

The title bills these as New York's greatest fights; the description narrows that invitation to the Garden. That gives the collection a particular place in UFC history. The organization first staged an event there in 2016, after New York legalized professional MMA. At UFC 205, Conor McGregor defeated Eddie Alvarez to become the first fighter to hold UFC titles in two weight divisions simultaneously.

This upload offers a longer visit to that setting, rather than a quick knockout reel. It also arrives among very different looks at the sport: a press appearance featuring Waldo Cortes Acosta and Johnny Walker, and a UFC Connected feature in which Elijah Smith explores a father-son bond built around combat.
