Diggin’ Deep on UFC 209: Woodley vs. Thompson 2 - FS1 prelims preview
Jason Silva-USA TODAY SportsNormally this is where I give a short narrative on the overall feel of the televised prelims or highlight the fight that would appear to offer the most promise in terms of entertainment value. The problem is that there isn’t anything that feels appropriate for me to point out at UFC 209. Sure, Mirsad Bektic has high expectations on him, but wrestle-heavy style isn’t something WME-IMG would appear to be promoting — just look at Demian Maia continually sitting on the sidelines. As for heavyweights, their contests are so hit and miss, it’s impossible to say what might happen. All I can truly say is: Enjoy the fights.
