Just hours away from UFC on Fox 6, much of the talk about tonight’s card has either been about the main event flyweight championship fight or Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

When a card is as stacked as UFC on Fox 6, it is hard to pick just one must-see fight. 

Seeing a UFC title fight for free alone should get people interested in the fight card. 

But it also features a disgruntled former UFC light heavyweight champion in his final UFC fight, two potential title eliminator fights and a hyper former lightweight making his featherweight debut in his home state. 

If all goes well, this could be one of the best free cards the UFC has ever put on. 

Here are the three fights that you should not miss.
