There are some times when a main event is so intriguing that it doesn’t matter what else is on the fight card, you just have to tune in, and there are times when a robust undercard acts like a rising tide and raises the entire event.
This weekend’s event at the UFC APEX is both, as the main event clash between Derek Brunson and Kevin Holland is a must-see attraction in the middleweight division, and the undercard is so flush with compelling and impactful fights that the event feels like a mid-March sleeper hit waiting to happen.
A fixture in the Top 15 since arriving from Strikeforce, Derek Brunson continues filling his role as the “title contender entrance exam” upstarts need to pass on Saturday night as the takes on surging rising star Kevin Holland.
