The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday returns to Germany a year after its last sojourn and to its Fight Pass platform for the third time in 2015. The card’s headliner is excellent, a strawweight title fight between newly crowned champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk and challenger Jessica Penne, but after the main event, things drop off quickly.
The undercard brings enough to interest the hardcore fan, but few others will be enticed. Dennis Siver takes on Japanese stalwart Tatsuya Kawajiri in the co-main event, while up-and-comers like Makwan Amirkhani, Mairbek Taisumov, Alan Omer and Niklas Backstrom provide some measure of intrigue.
