After a shallow showing of prelims at UFC 270, the organization is largely back to form for UFC 271. Not to say it’s MSG deep, but there are several fights on the prelims that wouldn’t be out of place on the main card of a PPV. That said, the early prelims are getting the bottom of the barrel for the card, as to be expected. However, there is one exception: Alexander Hernandez and Renato Moicano.
While I understand why the luster has been lost on both, it wasn’t that long ago both had hype around them. Moicano was circling the top five of the featherweight division and Hernandez obtained a ranking at lightweight, the deepest division in the sport.
