This past Saturday was a rare treat for MMA fans, as both the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Bellator MMA were running shows that day. Neither one excited me on paper, but both ended up being very fun viewing, surpassing my expectations. What I found especially curious is that across the two promotions, we saw the same story play out over and over.
