Florida loves the UFC.
And the UFC made it clear on Saturday night that it loves Florida, too.
The company's weekly Fight Night show went on the road to the tourist hotspot of Orlando and was chock full of eye-catching bells and whistles, with no fewer than nine ranked fighters participating in a 14-bout card at a raucous Amway Arena.
Sixth-ranked welterweight Stephen Thompson and popular two-division stalwart Kevin Holland squared off in the main event of a card that was actually trimmed from 15 when a scheduled scrap between flyweights Amanda Ribas and Tracy Cortez was scratched.
