Top-10 Viewing Options: After last weekend’s monster Saturday with Canelo on one TV and Kamaru Usman on the other, we have…not that.
1. UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Rodriguez: UFC keeps rolling out their fight nights on Saturday afternoon, which I have mixed feelings about, but man, I miss having them in front of actual fans.
2. Kid Galahad vs. Kiko Martinez/Alycia Baumgarner vs. Terri Harper: Two world title fights, technically, but the women’s offering is much, much better option than Kiko Martinez fighting for a world championship in 2021.
3. Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships 22: Hector Lombard and Luis Palomino put their titles on the line.
4. Bellator 271: An absolutely brutal card featuring a gigantic Cyborg mismatch (then again, aren’t most of hers, but still) at the top.
5. ONE: NextGen II: Huge muay thai main event with Rittewada Petchyindee Academy vs. Saemapetch Fairtex and not a ton else.
6. David Benavidez vs. Kyrone Davis/Francisco Emanuel Torres vs. Jose Benavidez Jr.: Davis is a late-notice replacement, to make an already-weak card worse.
7. RISE World Series 2021 Osaka 2: Your best kickboxing option of the weekend, tough break about the time and price.
8. Raw Grappling #1: If you can make it up, or are still up, this is your best grappling option of the weekend.
9. Enfusion 104: Enfusion has been very sporadic since shutdown, but they’re sneaking in a show this weekend featuring their inaugural welterweight championship.
10. All-Access: Canelo vs. Plant: Epilogue: Let’s finally close the curtain on the super middleweight unification.
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.
