Next up? UFC Fight Night 92.
The UFC seems to have found a new approach for its Fox Sports 1 Fight Night events. While they were previously home to all manners of mid-tier battles, ranging from top contender’s bouts to meaningless fights between aging veterans, the UFC is instead using these cards to showcase some of their hot young talent.
Fight Night 92 in particular features a main event involving super-exciting prospect Yair Rodriguez and a resurgent Alex Caceres. Outside the headliner, there is actually a great deal to look forward to with ranked fighters dotted up and down the card.
So…readers must be dying to know what to look out for and what topics to discuss entering this card. All they have to do is hit that “Next Slide” button.
