    UFC Vegas 104 has a deceptively decent alternative facts list, but don’t let that fool you. We have a more than healthy dose of Contender Series, TUF and Road to UFC alumni here—17 in total, or more than half the card. There’s just a single ranked fight on a card with 13 bouts total. Are ya picking up what I’m putting down yet?

    Now, bearing all that in m…

    UFC 313 has a solid main card that looks like it has all the ingredients for an action-packed night. At the top of the event is a title fight to be contested at light-heavyweight between reigning champion Alex Pereira and Number 1 contender Magomed Ankalaev—a real wrestling vs. striking bout that will test the grappling of Poatan and the chin of Ank.

    We’re back at the Apex for another watery card. After last weekend’s Seattle event, it’s hard to look at this bout roster and think that it holds much promise, but lest we forget, for the 18 people that will watch this card, it will probably be gangbusters for them, thanks to being loyal enough to want to spend a Saturday night with a bunch of fighters …

    Another weekend, another UFC card—this time, we get an on-the-road show in Seattle. It’s not terrible, but the accursed injury bug ravaged this event to the point of being unrecognizable. That said, there are some good contender bouts and some well-matched prospect contests that could give us a glimpse of the next crop of contenders. At the top of the c…

    Did you guys think because we got a dismal PPV card last week, that UFC would somehow reward you with a better card this week? If you did, you’d be a gullible soul and I might possibly have a bridge to sell you. That’s right, kids, we’re back at the Apex and back to a spate of ugly upcoming cards. This one features Jared Cannonier facing off against hou…

    Jesus Christ on a pair of rollerskates! I cannot believe this is the slop the UFC is serving Australia and then charging for it. Very likely the site fee is still stinging their government wallet, but that’s the price of doing business with MMA’s big bad. Sitting atop the card is the title rematch between Dricus Du Plessis and Sean Strickland. Ho hum. T…

    After a brief respite to recover from the inauguration, the UFC is back in action this week with a solid event for the folks in attendance in Riyadh and those watching around the world. At the top of the card is a middleweight bout between Israel Adesanya and Nassourdine Imavov. Will Issy be able to rebound from his two-fight losing skid or will Imavov …

    A UFC PPV is pretty much always welcome (almost!), but when you’ve got a truly loaded card, that’s just the cherry on top of the cake. UFC 311 is a really good card. Two title fights and what looks like a title eliminator between Prochazka and Hill says that the main card looks like a winner. Will the challengers take the belts or will the champs still …
