Top-10 Viewing Options: Well slap my ass and call me Timmy, we’re actually getting Wilder and Fury this weekend! Huzzah!
1. Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury/Jarrett Hurd vs. Jason Welborn: HOT TAMALES THAT’S A PRICE TAG THERE! 75 bones for a one-fight card is hard to swallow. Even Floyd cards had a decent enough undercard. Yikes.
2. UFC Fight Night: dos Santos vs. Tuivasa: The better of the two UFC cards, featuring heavyweight mayhem.
3. UFC The Ultimate Fighter Finale: Lesser card except for RDA vs. Usman, and a sneaky good Antonina Shevchenko and Ji Yeon Kim.
4. Adonis Stevenson vs. Oleksandr Gvozdyk/Chris Namus vs. Marie Eve Dicaire: Essentially the prelims of the Fury-Wilder card, and it certainly could be worse! Hell of a main event and solid undercard (under-under card?).
5. Bellator 210: This is crazy. The prelims are better than the main card! Tons of great names on the undercard. Schilling, Honeycutt, Warren, Yamauchi, Weichel, Warren, Lahat, Harris. That’s just on the prelims!
6. Fight To Win Pro 95: Unfortunate timing this weekend, but still a really damned-good card that goes about 4-5 deep of BJJ aces.
7. Bellator Kickboxing 11: Better get that Bellator App, this looks like how they’re going to do business on a lot of prelims and kickboxing cards.
8. Anthony Mundine vs. Jeff Horn/Cameron Hammond vs. Frank Rojas: Rise and shine, campers, it’s ESPN+ boxing from down under! Mundine and Horn are a solid enough test for each other. I think Horn takes it, but it’ll be a good win to get him back in a title hunt.
9. Bellator 211: Mostly crap card, except for the MMA debut of heavyweight kickboxing top-10, Hesdy Gerges.
10. Legacy Fighting Alliance 55: The vacant bantamweight title is on the line, and with it, a golden ticket to the UFC shark tank of the 135lb division, especially with all the flyweights moving up.
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.
