Mixed martial arts is a sport that demands a lot of its fans. Primetime Saturday nights. Viewing fees. The masochistic ability to listen to “Face the Pain” for 16 years running. In return, we have the right to offer feedback on the operation and make a few requests along the way. While there is much to like about the sport right now, we all have hopes for the next 12 months and beyond.
Santa, all I want for Christmas is Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson to finally take place. I know, we’ve tried to book this fight in 2015, ’16, ’17 and ’18, with each man pulling out twice.
