Several of the UFC’s recent PPV’s have been decidedly short on meaningful depth. That’s not me saying the recent cards have featured bad fights; simply that there had been a drop off in the quality of the fights. It appears the UFC is returning to a precedent they had set for most of 2021 and 2022, which saw the preliminary contests feature several meaningful ranked contests. In this case, it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility to see the winners of two contests from the prelims attached to title fights in their respective divisions in a year or so.
