Diggin’ Deep on UFC 261: Can Weidman and Smith maintain newly found momentum?

Obviously, this isn’t a preview of the entirety of the main card. In fact, it isn’t even half of the main card as Bloody Elbow policy is to give title fights their own preview. Thus, only two of the five main card fights are on this preview and it’s the two fights that are attracting the least attention. Fortunately, they are solid fights with solid name value. One contest features a former champion in Chris Weidman and a former title challenger in Anthony Smith. Unfortunately, both are miles away from reentering the title picture, but don’t tell them that.
