Saturday's five-round competition was the most sure result of the trilogy. The two first met at UFC 245 in December 2019 and again at UFC 251 in July 2020.

Shortly after the rematch, some in the sport still consider Hallway to be the true featherweight champion, but that feeling is long, long after UFC 276.
