Starting at UFC 152 on September 22, the UFC will bring you four straight weeks of MMA action that is certain to dazzle the audience.

Many fans question if they will saturate the market, but I think this is a good thing. Of the four MMA events, only two are pay-per-view, while there are two on free TV (FX and Fuel TV).

There are all sorts of great fights that will take place in the next four weeks. We will see three titles challenged, as the light heavyweight, flyweight and featherweight title will be contested.

As stated, the first-ever flyweight champion will be crowned, effectively making history. It will be an exciting clash between Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson, pitting speed against speed.

Jon Jones will defend his title for the first time since his single-handed cancellation of UFC 151. He will face regular middleweight Vitor Belfort in an interesting 205-lb affair.

UFC 152, in general, will be great. American hero Brian Stann will face British villain Michael Bisping in what will be a great battle of rival-nation fighters.

Matt Hamill and Vinny Magalhaes make their awaited returns to Toronto. Cub Swanson will meet Charles Oliveira in a race to the top of the featherweight division.

Moving on to the next event on Fuel TV, the event I am most looking forward to, we have a night of exciting fights in England.

The headliner is a heavyweight clash between Stefan Struve and Stipe Miocic. That fight should be dynamite, as both men always bring their best.

A ton of new faces will make their UFC debuts, as Tom Watson, Jimi Manuwa and Gunnar Nelson, among others, will look to get their UFC careers off to a good start.

In general, the fans in England should see a great card. I cannot wait to wake up that morning and start watching the fights live.

Then, we will go to FX the next weekend. Though the card lacks “star power,” there are a number of fights that will be great for earning fans. 

Surging heavyweight Travis Browne meets stiff test Antonio Silva in the headliner. A win for Browne would put him into contention.

Jake Ellenberger meets Jay Hieron in a rematch of a fight from earlier in their careers. Hieron took the first fight, but Ellenberger is much improved.

Finally, UFC 153 in Brazil is one of the most attractive cards on paper for the near future. It is headlined by a superfight between Frankie Edgar and Jose Aldo, with this fight being Edgar’s first featherweight affair.

Rampage Jackson, Erick Silva and Gabriel Gonzaga, among others, will also grace the card, making that card a must-see.

In conclusion, if you are a fight fan, the coming weeks will be exciting. There has been a long layoff since the last card, so many fans are anxious and ready.
