Something about the UFC’s first trip to Argentina just didn’t click. And it wasn’t for a lack of fun finishes. Instead, it felt difficult to draw meaning out of much of the card. Another fight night sandwiched in a long upcoming run of cards and without a lot of notable fan-favorite talent. What does winning get anyone involved on an event like this?
Is Santiago Ponzinibbio in line for a title shot? Is Ricardo Lamas back in the hunt at 145? Is Johnny Walker prepared to crash the light heavyweight division?
To answer these questions – and a few more – I’ll be turning to the classic Silva/Shelby fight booking model of years past.
