Top-10 Viewing Options: A man gorging himself on Butterfingers and boxing on Saturday is fully in the Halloween spirit. Well, as much as one can with not being able to hand out candy.
1. Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz/Mario Barrios vs. Ryan Karl: The incredibly rare main event featuring two titles on the line in different weight classes.
2. Jason Moloney vs. Naoya Inoue/Ewa Brodnicka vs. Mikaela Mayer: Moloney might not be scared of monsters, but we’re all goddamned scared for him. Inoue makes his Top Rank debut.
3. UFC Fight Night: Hall vs. Silva: It’s Uriah Hall against what everyone hoped Uriah Hall would become.
4. Dereck Chisora vs. Oleksandr Usyk/George Kambosis Jr. vs. Lee Selby: Usyk gets his first real test against heavyweight in Chisora, who will never be heavyweight champion, but who brings it every fight and is capable of some fun bangers.
5. ONE: Inside the Matrix: FOUR TITLE FIGHTS, DAMN YOUR EYES!
6. SUBVERSIV 4: Team grappling is gaining steam at the moment.
7. Jaime Munguia vs. Tureano Johnson/Alexis Rocha vs. Rashidi Ellis: Munguia’s second foray into the middleweight ranks has him battle against another hard-nosed veteran. He’s not being handled with kid loves at 160, that’s for sure.
8. RISE: Dead or Alive 2020: 55kg Tournament: Your best kickboxing/muay thai option of the weekend.
9. Legacy Fighting Alliance 94: Legacy returns with a title fight headliner, which is all I ask.
10. Cage Fury Fighting Championship 87: CFFC returns with something they’ve been doing, which is a Thursday-Friday doubleheader.
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.
