Top-10 Viewing Options: Our first free(ish) UFC PPV in a while! Remember when we used to get those semi-frequently? Halcyon times.
1. UFC 267: This is awesome. Not the time, but if it means we get a legit PPV card for no PPV price on ESPN+, bring on more Saturday afternoon cards!
2. Jamal James vs. Radzhab Butaev/Jaron Ennis vs. Thomas Dulorme: PBC takes home the best card on a weekend where Top Rank and Matchroom are trotting out offerings, as well.
3. Jose Zepeda vs. Josue Vargas/Carlos Caraballo vs. Jonas Sultan: Only for a secondary title, but Zepeda is an ace action fighter, who, if he’s on, is downright thrilling.
4. Chantelle Cameron vs. Mary McGee/Craig Richards vs. Marek Matyja: Cool title vs. title matchup, unfortunate scheduling as it’s going up against a free(ish) UFC Pay-Per-View.
5. ONE: NextGen: Young phenom Stamp Fairtex attempts to add to her trophy case by moving one step closer winning the ONE Atomweight Grand Prix.
6. Submission Underground 28: No title fights, which is rare for SUG.
7. All-Access: Canelo vs. Plant: Now with more suit brawling!
8. UFC 268 Countdown: And in just one week’s time, we’re on to MSG with a monster card.
9. Cage Fury Fighting Championship 102: Little regional action at night, since the UFC will be wrapped up.
10. Fury Pro Grappling 2: The good folks from Cage Fury have another stacked grappling card.
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.
