Victims of Various Successes: The inevitability of being too good for your own self in Uruguay

Suffice to say that Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 156 card wasn’t exactly well-received—and with good reason. Through 26 events so far this year, I think it would probably be the consensus worst of them all. With the largest thrills of the evening being Raulian Paiva’s enormous facial gash, and Mike Perry breaking the Rich Franklin scale of broken noses. That said, when a poor bill goes into full ‘bad card’ status, there’s normally an inordinate focus placed on the main event, and this card is no different.

And so I ask: What kind of blame does Valentina Shevchenko deserves for any part of this?
