Tons of cancellations, last-second changes and controversial matchmaking never make for a quality show. Well, not until now.
The star factor is certainly present. Light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans will defend his title against the criminally underappreciated Lyoto Machida, and we’ll get a long overdue resolution to the ongoing grudge between former welterweight champions Matt Hughes and Matt Serra. The rest of the main card, however, is what makes this a worthy investment for any fight fan.
Between middleweight bouts featuring some potential entrants in the Anderson Silva sweepstakes and a lightweight showdown that stars two of the UFC’s premier pocket rocket pugilists, there is something for every fight-crazed palate out there. So sit back and enjoy another round of offbeat prognostication courtesy of the guy who once argued that ping-pong is a contact sport.
