Lost to those who only follow the sport casually is the emergence of several light heavyweight prospects on the verge of being major players after years of nothing significant emerging from the ranks. Dominick Reyes is the first of those breaking into prominence with his title shot against Jon Jones coming up in February. At UFC Busan, we could get a good indication if Aleksander Rakic is the next one ready to emerge, as he gets a major test in former title challenger Volkan Oezdemir waiting for him in the co-main event.
Any fight fan will admit there isn’t much depth in the overseas cards, but there’s usually a couple of fights worth paying attention to.
