Heavyweight: Derrick Lewis vs. Tai Tuivasa

Prelims (ESPN/ESPN+):
Heavyweight: Andrei Arlovski vs. Jared Vanderaa
Flyweight: Roxanne Modafferi vs. Casey O'Neill
Bantamweight: Kyler Phillps vs. Marcelo Rojo
Light Heavyweight: Carlos Ulberg vs. Fabio Cherant

Early Prelims (ESPN+/Fight Pass):
Bantamweight: Mana Martinez vs. Ronnie Lawrence

Bobby knuckles takes the belt, and I feel pretty confident about it

Whittaker is gonna have to land something big and I just don't think you can do that to Adesanya at this point. I hope it's a barnburner at least

Hell, the top 2 prelim bouts could have driven a main card 6 or 7 years ago. I really like Andrei and Roxanne. Looks like a damn strong card to me

I was thinking "Blood, as much as they talked about you, you better make it past the 1st round".

But it didn't happen. dude took a nap instead

Yeah, I was expecting him to be decent but he didn't show anything and got arm-choked into nappy time.

Love Mana Martinez coming out to some Mike Jones

Unfortunately he's got himself a glass jaw

"Hey Fabio, we need a nickname for you when you get into the UFC"

"How about Water Buffalo?"

"Uhh...okay"

Why yes, I’ll gladly purchase another Stylebender fight. Love watching this dude.

Also pumped for the Lewis/Tuivass fight.

Cherant isn't even fighting. Unreal lack of effort here. He might be done in the UFC.

Closest thing I’ve ever seen to a guy switch professions mid fight. Dude decided that this shite ain’t for him

Well Cherant lived up to his nickname of Water Buffalo. He looked like he didn't want to be there.

The Martinez-Lawrence bout to end the Early Prelims has Fight of the Night so far

So which fights are the fights to watch? I don’t keep up with the sport but occasionally catch one of these. No clue who anyone is.
