Top-10 Viewing Options: A man who now needs John King to magic map out every fight weekend across the world gets by until CNN takes my offer.
1. UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Teixeira: You’ve gotta think the winner has a light heavyweight title shot on deck.
2. Devin Haney vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa/Devin Vargas vs. Zhilei Zhang: Haney-Gamboa might be the most relevant boxing fight of the weekend, but it doesn’t mean it’s a competitive one.
3. ONE: Inside The Matrix II: Doesn’t have four title fights like last week, you think they could space them out a bit, but…
4. Alexander Flores vs. Luis Ortiz/Brian Howard vs. Frank Sanchez: An all-heavyweight card from PBC, who continues to baffingly put their worst cards on network television.
5. Polaris Pro Squads 2: Last week SUBVERSIV, and this week brings Polaris Pro’s team grappling offering.
6. Fight To Win 156: After a rare F2W-less weekend, it comes back with a solid offering and life can now go on as it should.
7. Relentless: Terence Crawford: The build for Crawford-Brook kicks off.
8. Updating the Welterweight Division: ESPN taking stock at 147lbs.
9. Pavel Malikov vs. Roman Andreev/Dmitry Mikhaylenko vs. Magomed Kurbanov: RCC clocking in with some Saturday morning sweet science.
10. Kali Reis vs. Kandi Wyatt/Dell Long vs. Elvis Garcia Munoz: A tape-delayed women’s world boxing championship on Impact Network, “the fastest growing and largest black owned faith-based tv network spanning across the united states, the Bahamian Islands and parts of Africa!” which is definitely a sentence I just typed.
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.
