Sometimes it’s the cards nobody talks about that continue being the cards nobody is going to talk about. UFC Vegas: Muhammad vs. Luque 2 looked bad on paper, and was pretty poor in execution. An event filled with brutal fouls, grinding decisions, and a main event that ended up carrying little in the way of competitive drama.
So, has Belal Muhammad officially staked his claim to being the welterweight ‘dark horse’ title threat? Is Pat Sabatini ready for a big jump up in competition? And why did the UFC do Brandon Jenkins like that?
To answer those questions – but nothing else – I’ll be using the classic Silva/Shelby fight booking methodology from the UFC of years past.
