Diggin’ Deep on UFC Phoenix: Ngannou vs. Velasquez - Main card preview

While the main card of UFC Phoenix doesn’t have a contest that looks like it will have an immediate impact on the title picture, all of them either represent a FOTN contender or a contest of high intrigue. That doesn’t mean there isn’t any relevancy to them either. James Vick and Paul Felder are borderline top ten lightweights, a more impressive feat than in any other division given the shark tank 155 represents. Kron Gracie’s UFC debut is a curiosity simply due to his last name. The last Gracie to fight in the UFC: Roger Gracie at UFC 162, so it’s been a while since a member of the First Family of MMA stepped into the Octagon.
