Top-10 Viewing Options: A man whose hockey team might be the worst squad to ever win the Stanley Cup watches fights as if a fighter with an arm and leg taken off can win a world title.
1. UFC 212: This is a real one-fight card, here. A hell of a card, but still. One of Aldo or Max pulls out, this fight is DOA.
2. 2017 IBJJF World Championships: An absolutely massive lineup of the best grapplers from all over the world.
3. Adonis Stevenson vs. Andrzej Fonfara II/Eleider Alvarez vs. Jean Pascal: Don’t love Fonfara getting a title shot so soon after that pasting he took by Joe Smith Jr., but it wouldn’t be a Stevenson title defense if it wasn’t against an inferior challenge.
4. Cage Warriors 84: Decent CWFC offering with a title fight at the top of it, lacking big names, but Cage Warriors produces them, not showcases them.
5. Legacy Fighting Alliance 13: Another week, another half-assed LFA card, christ.
6. 24/7: Kovalev vs. Ward: These aren’t the most charismatic boxers to ever live, but after their first bout, believe both have something to prove.
7. Azat Hovhannisyan vs. Neftali Campos/Alexis Rocha vs. Cesar Valenzuela: Solid Estrella card if you’re lucky enough to find it in your 20000s on your dial.
8. UFC 212 Post-Fight Show: It’ll be interesting to see what’s next for whomever comes out victorious in the main event. Featherweight is curiously understocked right now. Maybe a Zombie sighting soon for the title if he wins his next?
9. UFC 212 Countdown: “Now, here’s where Aldo was injured in training…”
10. 30 For 30: Muhammad And Larry: Always worth the watch. Larry Holmes knew what he had to do, and knew what would happen, and knew he’d be vilified for it.
Outside the Tube: Fighters you know or should know that won’t be appearing on your magic television box over the weekend.
