UFC 190 and UFC 191 are polar opposites.
UFC 190 was big on names, but short on actual title relevance. Old favorites and struggling vets were fighting for little more than pride. Even the most diehard Brazilian fans knew that the card was going to be a fleeting experience, devoid of any long-term repercussions.
UFC 191, though? Well, just take a look at the fights announced thus far:
- Demetrious Johnson vs. John Dodson
- Anthony Johnson vs. Jimi Manuwa
- Paige VanZant vs. Alex Chambers
- Francisco Rivera vs. John Lineker
- Joaquim Silva vs. Nazareno Melagerie
- Jan Blachowicz vs. Corey Anderson
That’s a very strong foundation to a card, but add in the rumored Andrei Arlovski vs. Frank Mir heavyweight bout and you have a deceptively great event in the works.
There’s a lot to look forward to up there, so why not take a look forward to the biggest fights on the card? Keep reading to check out our early previews and predictions.
