Another weekend, another UFC event that lacks any star power. We’re six weeks into what will go down as one of the most brutal slogs in MMA history, with UFC events on almost every single Saturday from here until year’s end. Because of that, cards are starting to take on the sort of feel they had back in 2014, with one or two interesting fights expected to carry a seven-hour broadcast.
This time, the UFC has asked former Strikeforce, and current Invicta FC, featherweight champion Cris “Cyborg” Justino to bring the card to greater heights. Will she be up to the task? Probably not, but she does have a bit of help from former pound-for-pound greatest fighter (well, according to Dana White, anyway) Renan Barao and fan favorite Roy Nelson.
Naturally, the Bleacher Report staff is here to help you make your own picks for the event. So let’s jump right in.
