Topped by two championship bouts, the card features Chris Weidman and Ronda Rousey as they attempt to build their legacies at the expense of Lyoto Machida and Alexis Davis, respectfully. Unfortunately, the ever-evolving three-way scandal between Chael Sonnen, Vitor Belfort and Wanderlei Silva robbed this card its most intriguing fights and overshadows it in many ways.
Still, there is a lot to look forward to on Saturday. So what should you be talking about for the next week? Find out right here!
