While I don’t think the early main card contests for UFC 231 don’t quite carry the momentum the televised prelims contained, I’m not going to rip on them either. They aren’t stupendous main card bouts, but they aren’t terrible. Essentially, they are what you’d expect out of your average PPV. Granted, none of the contests will have title implications… but who gives a damn. They should be pretty damn entertaining too.
The main card begins at 10:00 PM ET/7:00 PM PT on Saturday.
Alex Oliveira (20-5-1, 2 NC) vs. Gunnar Nelson (16-3-1), Welterweight
Nelson has been MIA for 17 months, allowing many of the more notable names in the division to pass him by in the process.
