While there are several contests on this card that many are anticipating, there aren’t any on the prelims. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any contests that don’t appear to be worth watching. My eye falls on the Giga Chikadze and Omar Morales contest. It isn’t a particularly meaningful contest, but it looks like it should be a lot of fun. However, what these prelims really have is several fighters who look like they could have a bright future. Impa Kasanganay is the obvious one the UFC sees as a star in the making, but there’s enough young blood on these prelims that it wouldn’t be a surprise to see several of these participants emerge in the official UFC rankings within a few years.
