As of now, there are nine – nine! – preliminary contests for UFC Vegas 19. There is time for a contest to fall out as it has become commonplace for one or two fights to fall out in the final days heading into events. Hell, it isn’t even that unusual for a fight to fall out after weigh-ins anymore. That’s why they’ve been scheduling cards to have a large number of fights because they expect them to have injury or illness pick away at amount of contests like vultures. That’s the reasoning behind the bloated card. What’s on the prelims is about as diverse of a group as you’ll find on prelims, from a former UFC title challenger to several newcomers, five to be exact.
