Coming off what appears to be the most impactful PPV of the year, it’s naturally going to feel like the following event is a major downer. Going from the somewhat surprising retirement of Khabib Nurmagomedov to what appears to be the UFC forcing Anderson Silva out the door doesn’t help with that feeling either.
Regardless, the prelims… well, they’re hit and miss. There are some prospects with an abundance of promise and others whom generate minimal excitement. There are also names that were formerly dark horses to emerge as contenders, though they never did fulfill that promise in Alexander Hernandez and Cortney Casey.
