There’s no denying that the UFC remains the world’s premier mixed martial arts organization, but fight fans also need a change of pace from time to time. This is especially true when the UFC’s saturated schedule is taken into account. It’s rare to have a weekend without a UFC card. While some may not see that as an issue, some have also been critical because events can often feel stale and repetitive. Sure, there are still “big” UFC events that have a special aura around them, but these cards seem to occur less frequently than they did in the past.
