Top-10 Viewing Options: A man very pleasantly surprised by Jones Jr. vs. Tyson attempts not to be so goddamned curmudgeonly.
1. Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia/Habib Ahmed vs. Sebastian Fundora: PBC hasn’t been afraid to spoon shit on TV then throw out huge, expensive PPVs haven’t they?
2. UFC on ESPN: Hermansson vs. Vettori: I admire Kevin Holland: Quarantine Superstar, but I like the Marvin Vettori main event more.
3. Billy Joe Saunders vs. Martin Murray/James Tennyson vs. Josh O’Reilly: Scott Christ said it exactly right. This should have happened a few years ago at a lower weight.
4. ONE Big Bang: ONE bringing it this weekend. Light Heavyweight kickboxing tournament, and Garry Tonon and Marat Grigorian are in action.
5. XFN Kickboxing 369: Bring on all the one-night tournaments.
6. Legacy Fighting Alliance 96: For the vacant welterweight championship that Jaleel Willis held for not even two months before bolting for Bellator.
7. Fight To Win 158: Uniquely poor showing from F2W this weekend.
8. 2020 IBJJF American National Jiu-Jitsu Championships: Good to see IBJJF get back into their groove.
9. 2020 Smash Nationals: Amateur wrestling is as big a staple of winter as snow and shitty Pennsylvania drivers.
10. Grachan 46: Best JMMA offering of the weekend.
