It may not be a headliner that draws many eyes, but UFC Vegas 73: Dern vs. Hill is a surprisingly alright offering from the UFC this week. The main event features two top ranked strawweights looking to reassert their claim to a spot among the division's elite, and it should make for an interesting style clash. Edmen Shahbazyan vs. Anthony Hernandez is a…

It almost makes it worse that the UFC was probably really trying to put together a decent card for this week’s ABC airing. They’re on a big network (in a bad timeslot) away from the Apex, in front of a live crowd. They’ve got lots of recognizable names on the docket, and a couple hot prospects. What they don’t have, however, is a main event. Jairzinho R…

Since the biggest thing this week’s UFC on ABC: Rozenstruik vs. Almeida card lacks is a quality main event, it makes sense that the prelims aren’t too shabby. Matt Brown vs. Court McGee is a battle of road-dog vets who should have already met before. Karl Williams looks like something special, and Cody Stamann vs. Douglas Silva de Andrade promises some …

If the UFC 288 main card might be missing just that little hint of star power to push it into successful territory, the prelims look exactly like PPV prelims should. The featured slot goes to a banger of a fight between Drew Dober and Matt Frevola. Add action fight mainstays like Khaos Williams and Marina Rodriguez into the mix, and a few intriguing pro…

UFC 288 is saddled with the unfortunate reality that it’s just a ‘pretty good’ fight card. In an era where we’ve become accustomed to feast or famine when it comes to UFC event quality, and with PPV prices continually rising, offering a good fight between two men without a lot of public interest like Henry Cejudo and Aljamain Sterling just doesn’t have …

Much like the main card, the UFC Vegas 72 prelims are all about struggle. Unlike the main card, the undercard doesn’t have a fight like Song Yadong vs. Ricky Simon to hold it down. Sure Cody Durden vs. Charles Johnson is alright, but that’s a poor consolation. The rest of it just feels like they rounded up everyone on the roster that had a contractually…

UFC Fight Week returns with another dose of killer filler. UFC Vegas 72 has a great co-main event—I mean, who hates bantamweight fights?—but nothing else to show for it. Song Yadong vs. Ricky Simon should be an absolute barn burner. The rest of it? A tire fire. Fortunately we’ve got a PPV next week that has a lot of cool fights on it.

The UFC is in a rough spot this week with a fight card that lacks much in the way of punch. UFC Vegas 71 goes down this Saturday, April 22nd headlined by a heavyweight fight between Sergei Pavlovich & Curtis Blaydes. The co-main features Brad Tavares against Bruno Silva and, other than an appearance from Bobby Green, that's about as notable as it gets.

Unlike last week, where Brandon Royval and Matheus Nicolau were left buried on the prelims, this week's UFC Vegas 71 undercard is light on gems. Ricky Glenn takes on Christos Giagos in the featured slot. A fight between Montel Jackson and Rani Yahya is the other most meaningful fight outside the top 5 bouts. After a couple big PPVs and great smaller car…

“The UFC is back with an actually pretty quality Fight Night card this week. A banger of a main event between Max Holloway and Arnold Allen that could very well rocket the Brit to title contention off a victory. Throw Billy Quarantillo taking a step up against Edson Barboza and a surefire firefight between Pedro Munhoz and Chris Gutierrez in there and i…
