Top-10 Viewing Options: UFC is, essentially, taking the next few weeks off, so a good time for other promotions to shine.
1. Daniel Jacobs vs. Gennady Golovkin/Roman Gonzalez vs. Wisaksil Wangek: The GGG/Chocolatito buddy-cop tour rolls into the Madison Square Garden with a great undercard, and a worthy opponent for GGG.
2. 2017 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships: To dozens of wrestlers, this will be the best day of their lives, and you’ll see many of them coming up in the MMA ranks soon enough.
3. 2017 IBJJF Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championships: An absolute whopper of a field. Gabi Garcia, Mackenzie Dern, Leandro Lo, and about twenty others listed in Outside The Tube below.
4. World Series of Fighting 35: Finally, WSOF plans an event that isn’t right smack against anot–oh…ok, then. Well, at least it’s at a time where mos–…oh, ok.
5. UFC Fight Night: Anderson vs. Manuwa: Sure, London Fight Pass card, sure.
6. Amir Mansour vs. Travis Kauffman/David Grayton vs. Kermit Cintron: The fact that I have an inexplicable love for Kermit Cintron should not factor into this. Still a PBC card that shouldn’t be on Bounce.
7. Enfusion Live 47: I like Enfusion a lot, they’re an awesome kickboxing promotion that offers good streaming for a decent price. Support kickboxing.
8. 60 Minutes Sports ft. Daniel Jacobs: One of the final episodes of 60 Minutes sports, look at the interesting life of this weekend’s B-side fighter.
9. Best of Legacy Fighting Alliance: I mean…there’s only been six events, but alright!
10. BRACE 47: Aussie MMA for the night owl/meth addict!
