Inside the worst UFC PPV of all-time
Dana White stepped to the podium after UFC 149 six years ago with a look of astonishment on his face.
"I'm embarrassed," he said.
Saturday's rematch with Eddie Alvarez is a steppingstone, according to Dustin Poirier, who believes a win will earn him a chance at the UFC lightweight championship.
Quite possibly the worst pay-per-view card in UFC history had just taken place at the Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A multitude of injuries in the weeks and days prior to the event led to lackluster matchups that proved even worse than expected. All five fights on the main card had late replacements and all but one ended in decisions that featured little-to-no action.
