The glory of victory and the agony of defeat was on full display at UFC Fight Night in Austin Saturday night.  Two of the biggest fights featured athletes with Houston ties. Soon to be ranked bantamweight and Houstonian, Adrian Yanez took on the controversial Tony Kelley. Texan Kevin Holland was also in action. You might recall him as the person who stopped the gunman Ra Sushi in Highland Village. (Photos by Jack Gorman)
