He was dressed in a suave plaid blazer, but his eyes were weary with tolls. He was slightly hollowed out and sinewy, aging before our eyes. Still, he seemed happy. He’s been saying all week leading up to the fight that the joy of his life is being able to sleep in his own bed every night, and it’s

It's a bizarre conflation of opposites as the UFC hosts a show in Cleveland for the first time.
