It feels like forever since we’ve had a major UFC event in Las Vegas. In a way, it HAS been forever, at least when you compare it to previous years where the UFC ran big pay-per-view events here on a regular basis.
The last non-TUF event here was July’s UFC 148, so you could say that the city is ripe for some mixed martial fisticuffs. And fisticuffs they will get, as heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos arrives on the scene to defend his belt against Cain Velasquez in a rematch of the first ever UFC on Fox event last November.
But today, we’re going to focus on a different aspect of the card and take a look at a few fighters who might be on the bubble if they suffer catastrophic losses on Saturday night. I’m not saying that all of these fighters will be cut if they lose, but they’re definitely much more in need of a win than usual.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at the hot seat for UFC 155.
