Diggin’ Deep on UFC 216: Ferguson vs. Lee - Main card preview

Related Topics: card, UFC 216, Main

The first three fights of UFC 216’s main card feature two outstanding contests and another that no one can figure out why the UFC stuck it on the main card. The heavyweight bout features a former champion clashing with one of the newest contenders in the division and the opener is a favorite to win the FOTN. The other contest? Well…two fighters who’ve never before fought in the UFC with minimal notice. Wouldn’t it have been wiser to substitute a contest from earlier in the card that people actually cared about for this one? People are shelling out good money for this card after all and I don’t see that contest adding any incentive for anyone to purchase the PPV.
