Top-10 Viewing Options: A man who was looking all kinds of forward to Jose Ramirez and Viktor Postol now will have to wait. THANKS A HELL OF A LOT, CORONAVIRUS!
1. ONE: Fire & Fury: Joshua Pacio’s last five finishes: Arm-Triangle Choke, Head Kick KO, Hammerlock, Rear-Naked Choke, Spinning Back Fist KO against Alex Silva who has eight of his nine wins by armbar or kneebar.
2. KASAI Pro 7: Featuring an eight-man tournament featuring some of the best grapplers in the world. Cyborg Abreu, Bruno Bastos, Vinny Magalhaes, and Hulk Barbosa amongst others for the KASAI World Heavyweight championship.
3. Iowa vs. Penn State: An absolute slobberknocker of a matchup, featuring two #1 vs. #2 bouts. These might be the two best schools in the country this year when it’s all said and done.
4. David Oliver Joyce vs. Lee Haskins/Mauro Maximiliano Godoy vs. Sean McComb: Solid Saturday afternoon UK fare from ESPN again, this weekend.
5. Alexei Collado vs. Ruben Villa/Jerry Perez vs. Zhora Hamazaryan: Showtime’s really been cranking out a metric shitload of cards lately. This makes four straight weeks.
6. Mike Dallas Jr. vs. Yordenis Ugas/Fidel Maldonado Jr. vs. Michel Rivera: Dallas’s last four wins have come over boxers with a combined 19-75-7 record. Oof.
7. Legacy Fighting Alliance 81: Alright, LFA, you have a new home on Fight Pass, time to start throwing out some title fights, fellas. We wanna see the next big ones.
8. Cage Fury Fighting Championship 81: Three title fights head this loaded card from CFFC.
9. Unlocking Victory: UFC 247: Unlocking a way to defeat Jon Jones should be simple. Do everything Thiago Santos did and not snap a bone.
10. Inside Fury vs. Wilder II: Part 2: We’re in the homestretch now, folks!
4×5: Every week, UCS’s Luke Irwin will list his Top-5 bouts in each of the four major different combat sports that he’s looking forward to the most, regardless of any conventional criteria, merit, or logic.
