Some cards are about the headliners. Others highlight the depth of the roster.
Fans can safely file Saturday's 11-bout Fight Night show from the Apex in Las Vegas as a case of the latter. Though three pairs of UFC-ranked fighters are matched up against one another in three separate weight classes, none of the half dozen are ranked higher than seventh.
Middleweights Anthony Hernandez and Michel Pereira will headline a show that'll air opposite playoff baseball and significant college football, and, ironically, also while former octagonal heavyweight menace Francis Ngannou makes his debut with a rival company.
