Top-10 Viewing Options: For the first time in months! (Almost) 10 fight programs we can actually watch!

 

Your Weekend in Combat Sports  1. UFC on ESPN: Burns vs. Woodley: The UFC moves base from Florida to their home gym in Nevada, for another strange, yet, oddly compelling, fanless show.

Your Weekend in Combat Sports  2. Submission Underground 14: Chael P. Sonnen will provide you entertainment, goddammit. A true man of the people.

Your Weekend in Combat Sports  3. Eliezer Aquino vs. Norbelto Jimenez/Juan Carlos Cordones vs. Luis David Salazar: BOXING LIVES! And it’s on YouTube!

Your Weekend in Combat Sports  4. Titan Fighting Championship 60: I admire Titan’s ability to adapt on the fly. They’ve turned Titan 60 into an all-grappling card. You have to be flexible during these times, and I admire their ability to do so.

Your Weekend in Combat Sports  5. Saturday Fight Live: De La Hoya vs. Hopkins: A new feature from DAZN, where they have two fighters narrate their bout with each other live on Saturday night.

Your Weekend in Combat Sports  6. XFN 28: Well, you certainly don’t see many promotions that feature ring card girl/fighter hybrids, but here we are! Not many regionals are up and doing business, but that’s the benefits of being based in Florida.

Your Weekend in Combat Sports  7. UFC Live: Burns vs. Woodley: I’ve never been so happy to see watered-down ESPN pre-shows.

Your Weekend in Combat Sports  8. UFC on ESPN Post-Fight Show: Does this get Woodley back into title contention? Should I light my own hand on fire??

Your Weekend in Combat Sports  9. WTFK: Grand Prix Finals: Your best/only kickboxing option of the weekend.

10. Ummm…we don’t have a tenth. Hopefully soon!

 

Bold, Yet Probably Fruitless Predictions: A man that’s never been so happy to lose money on picks gladly tosses away his money just to watch live fights.
