International Fight Week has been a bit blah this year.
The 2017 iteration of the event the UFC has built around its vaunted early July shows has been duly lacking in attention and interest from a large swath of the collective fandom, and with UFC 213 set to go down as the week's crown jewel on Saturday night, it doesn't appear that's about to change.
In years past, such an event would be headlined by a big star or many big stars. Brock Lesnar, Georges St-Pierre, Ronda Rousey and Jon Jones are some of the select few who've landed the weekend's big ticket, but this year it's a bit different.
