How do I define these prelims? While UFC Vegas 56 claims the top women’s MMA prospect and perhaps the most exciting flyweight prospect, the rest of the card feels like filler. I’m not saying there aren’t proven veterans – Damon Jackson comes to mind – but the contests feel like a lopsided contest, a pink slip derby with two combatants who were unable to carve out a warm spot in the hearts of fans, and/or fights thrown together to fulfill contractual obligations. Even the fight with Erin Blanchfield – the aforementioned best women’s prospect – feels like it’s lopsided.
