Making the Grade is a new feature on MMA Sucka where I’ll be grading upcoming cards, events that just occurred, big fights and much more. Today, we’re going to take a look at the fights for Saturday night and grade UFC 246’s PPV portion of the card. UFC 246 features a huge contest between Conor McGregor and Donald Cerrone.
Grades are given under various criteria including potential for violence, name value, anticipation value and what the fight means for the division going forward. Anytime McGregor is involved, it’s a sense of heightened awareness.
