UFC Fight Nights 71 and 72: 6 Reasons to Watch Wednesday and Saturday Cards

Oh, did you think you were going to get a break? Not a chance. Strap it back in, MMA fans. Another week, another two events from the UFC.

This week is particularly strange. We have UFC Fight Night 71 going down in San Diego on Wednesday, then UFC Fight Night 72 airing Saturday night from across the pond in the rough-and-tumble burg of Glasgow, Scotland.

In Wednesday's main event, we have heavyweights Frank Mir and Todd Duffee squaring off in a classic grappler (Mir) vs. striker (Duffee) matchup. Saturday brings something similar, with middleweight kickboxer Michael Bisping facing jiu-jitsu standout Thales Leites.
