Top-10 Viewing Options: Boxing rules the roost this weekend, as there are a boatload of title fights, and Matchroom returns to the States!
1. Demetrius Andrade vs. Jason Quigley/Jose Velasquez vs. Murodjon Akhmadaliev: Crawford vs. Porter is the biggest fight of the weekend, but this card is unreal. FOUR world title fights.
2. Shawn Porter vs. Terence Crawford/Esquiva Falcao vs. Patrice Volny: Is this Porter’s last chance to be a top guy? He has quite the challenge ahead of himself to find out.
3. UFC Fight Night: Tate vs. Vieira: Another Fight Night from the Apex at a confounding time. 6pm? The hell is that?
4. 2021 Abu Dhabi World Pro Jiu-Jitsu Championships: Abu Dhabi is still a huge BJJ tournament featuring some of the best in the world to do it.
5. Ohio State vs. Virginia Tech: A couple top-ten matchups, including #1 149lb wrestler Sammy Sasso from (the) Ohio State University.
6. Absolute Championship Akhmat 132: If you’re up early or not at work, or have a separate screen up at work, you really can’t beat the price for the quality that ACA has.
7. King of Kings: World Championship in Vilnius: With the government cancelling both Enfusion events, this becomes your best kickboxing option of the weekend.
8. 2021 Folkstyle Tour of America Northwest Bigfoot Battle: Let’s keep folkstyle wrestling alive and well for as long as we can.
9. All-Access: Davis vs. Cruz: WELP, with Rolly Romero’s sexual assault allegations taking him out of this fight, we’re left with a definite step down.
10. Bare Knuckle Boxing 23: If you need your bare-knuckle fix, BKB is your Shop Rite BKFC replacement.
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.
