This is what happens when you have a year where upwards of 7 maybe 8 of the better fighters in the world have likely had the last fights of their careers. It'll be a transition card where new stars can emerge. UFC 170 doesn't have name value because I don't know if I could pick any of the 10 guys on the undercard out in a small crowd.

This usually means there's a lot to prove and a lot at stake for hungry up and comers, looks to be a lot of experience on that card with only one guy besides the ladies having less than 10 professional fights. Could be some really tremendous fights in Feb.
