The UFC is making up for lost time.
Less than four days removed from UFC 249 — the event that marked the promotion’s return to action amid the COVID-19 pandemic — we are already primed for another 11-fight lineup. Wednesday’s card couldn’t possibly match the name value of Saturday’s all-star occasion, but it is not without its title implications, curiosities, and sleeper Fight of the Night candidates.
Having already had their shot at Jon Jones, it’s a stretch to call the UFC Jacksonville main event between Anthony Smith and Glover Teixeira a No.
