Over the course of the UFC’s 30+ year history, there’ve been several cards that were truly stacked. Out of all of them, UFC 300 is one of the most stacked events of all-time. Every prelim bout is good enough to warrant its own headlining slot on a Fight Night or ESPN card. Three of the…
It’s November, meaning it’s time for another UFC pay-per-view from New York City. The UFC treats this as an annual tentpole event and, at first, that’s what this show felt like. The main event was supposed to feature current UFC Heavyweight champion and former longtime Light Heavyweight kingpin Jon Jones against former champion Stipe Miocic.…
UFC 288 is a very mercurial card. It’s both interesting and hollow, at least by pay-per-view standards, at the same time. It has only one title fight on it, with the challenger coming back from retirement after three years away, but the challenger was the undisputed champion at the time of his retirement. The card…
Last Saturday, the UFC hosted a PPV event that featured two title fights, one of which was a Fight of the Year contender, a very entertaining main card and a rabid Australian card. This week’s card offers almost none of those things, as the UFC heads back to the APEX for a Fight Night card…
The UFC’s first pay-per-view offering of the year is also its first show in Brazil since the start of the pandemic. They held an event there in early March 2020, but that was with no fans in attendance. In order to celebrate its return to Brazil, the UFC is highlighting the show with a pair…
There was a time when this Saturday’s UFC card looked like a pretty good event with some solid intrigue to it.

This Saturday, after a pretty quiet month and a half, the UFC will hold a truly stacked event. Headlined by a pair of title fights, and a featured bout that will feature the return of Nick Diaz against fellow longtime fan favorite Robbie Lawler, this card is possibly the most loaded September event the UFC…
After over a year, the UFC is finally going to have a full live audience for an event at this Saturday’s UFC 261 in Jacksonville, Florida. It’s a risky idea with a genuine possibility of backfiring, but the UFC is going forth with it. The main card is a stacked one, with three title fights…
Just a week before a big UFC 254 card, the promotion will hold another card on “Fight Island” this Saturday. Odd name aside, this week’s UFC card is one that has potential to be one of the best events of the year. The main event is a fantastic matchup between elite Featherweights Chan Sung Jung,…
After taking last week off for the Fourth of July, the UFC will be kicking off a stretch of 12 events in as many weeks this Saturday, the first four of which will take place on “Fight Island” in Abu Dhabi, with a UFC 251 card that is undoubtedly the most stacked show of the…
