On paper, this is one of the best Fight Night cards in the ESPN era, or perhaps ever. With three fights that would qualify as quality Fight Night main events, it’s hard not to be excited about this card. I’m bummed about which contest they decided to put in the main event – the less five-round heavyweight contests, the better – but that doesn’t make it a bad fight in the least. Even more surprising with that decision is neither Alistair Overeem or Alexander Volkov are getting a title shot at heavyweight, whereas the winner of Cory Sandhagen and Frankie Edgar stand a very good shot of competing for the bantamweight crown.
