While I always try to be optimistic about what is being offered by whatever the UFC is putting out, I also try to be honest. The first two hours of the FS1 prelims don’t have much to offer. Oh, there could be an exciting contest or two out of the four fights, but there isn’t anyone fans are going to get behind. The last hour? Now, that’s got a lot of intrigue. The preliminary headliner between Nate Marquardt and Sam Alvey feels like a guarantee to deliver a finish. But the real intrigue comes in the fight just before that when Raphael Assuncao and Aljamain Sterling face off in a contest between highly ranked bantamweights.
