There is no doubt UFC 223 is top-to-bottom the most stacked card of 2018 thus far. The Fight Pass prelims offer the most explosive prospect casual fans have never heard of. Seriously, if the UFC brass gave Zabit Magomedsharipov half the push they give Sage Northcutt, they could potentially have a Russian superstar on their hands. The kid is a blast to watch. That isn’t all either. Mike Rodriguez is incredibly raw, but the flashes he has shown indicate he could be something special.
There are more familiar names too like Alex Caceres, Artem Lobov, and Bec Rawlings, all known for consistently putting together fun scraps for the viewing audience.
