Suffering from Olympics fatigue syndrome? This Saturday, the UFC might have just the tonic. 

UFC on Fox 4 (also known as UFC on Fox: Shogun vs. Vera) goes down August 4 from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. It’s all on free TV, and it all kicks off at 5 p.m. Eastern on Fuel TV, then moves to the mothership at 8 p.m.

The co-main events pit light heavyweights Ryan Bader against Lyoto Machida and then Mauricio “Shogun” Rua against Brandon Vera in some kind of cluster-melee for the next shot at champion Jon Jones.

But there are more fights than that. In fact, six of the UFC’s eight weight classes are represented here. At the same time, though, don’t kid yourself: Every card has a few clunkers, and this one is no different. Don’t let yourself fall victim to the socioinformational mind-control machine. 

But how, pray tell, does one do that? How does one see through the propoganda and, in so doing, separate the wheat from the chaff? With this slideshow, that’s how.

Herewith is a list of all 10 matchups, ranked from most boring to most exciting. Informational capsules, viewing coordinates and a few predictions also are included. NO FILTER, BRO.
