Four out of the five main card contests are fantastic fights. There is the women’s championship fight at the top. The co-main event features a man many consider to be the GOAT. (Both of those contests will be previewed later by Phil MacKenzie and David Castillo) The next contest below them features another all-time great looking to turn away a serious up-and-comer. Then there’s the main card opener with a pair of aggressive fringe lightweights. All of those should be extremely pleasing to the MMA viewer.
Then there is the contest after that. I’ll get to what is wrong with it in a moment, but I also need to remind my readers – and myself – that a PPV card with four awesome fights is pretty damn good.
