UFC 287 is a weird PPV. It is a throwback PPV, throwaway PPV and an exciting PPV all at once. The main event is an immediate rematch between new UFC Middleweight champion Alex Pereira and former champ Israel Adesanya. It’s a fine headliner, as Adesanya was the champion for over three years before losing to…
The UFC does pay-per-views every month, but it’s extremely rare for them to host one that doesn’t include any championship fights. Whenever they do, it’s a card headlined by Conor McGregor, but that’s not the case here either. The original main event was supposed to be a Featherweight title trilogy bout between champion Alexander Volkanovski…
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…
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…
UFC 244’s main card legitimately feels like a PPV-worthy slate. All ten fighters on it are ranked, and every fight has major stakes to it. The main event between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz is the first non-title fight to headline a UFC pay-per-view since UFC 202 in August 2016. Yes, there’s a “belt” on…
International Fight Week is underway, and tomorrow night’s UFC 239 card is the centerpiece. Simply put, UFC 239 is arguably the biggest card of the year to date. The top two fights will feature Jon Jones and Amanda Nunes, who are two of the most dominant champs in the company. The featured main card bout…
This weekend, for the first time in the ESPN era, the UFC will head to the United Kingdom. They’ve been there over 20 times over the years, but this is not only the first time the UFC is doing so since the ESPN deal, they’re also putting forth one of the best cards ever to…
Ladies and gentlemen, the day is finally here! UFC 211 will finally be upon us! What was a stacked card from the get go has sustained a few hitches as most cards do, but thankfully, the five biggest fights, all of which could headline their own FOX card, are all intact. Four of those fights…
Every year in late January, the UFC holds a FOX card. Tonight, they’re doing just that from Denver, Colorado. The prelim card is solid and full of fun fights, but the main card is all we’ll be discussing today. It’s a very good slate in which three of the four fights will be between…
