On Saturday, the UFC returns from a weekend off with a matinee card, as UFC Fight 63 touches down in Virginia. Headlined by Chad Mendes vs. Ricardo Lamas, it promises to be a strong card that fans can enjoy in the morning and afternoon, as opposed to the normal evening showcase.
Outside of Mendes vs. Lamas, the card is home to strong names such as Jorge Masvidal, Al Iaquinta, Clay Guida and Dustin Poirier. Those men will create fireworks on the main portion of the card, but the prelims have big names as well, such as Liz Carmouche, Gray Maynard and Lauren Murphy.
UFC Fight Night 62 was good for my record, as it ended a subpar run. We look to continue that momentum on this four-fight prelim card.
With that, let’s take a look at the prelims and make some picks.
