SEATTLE — If I can for a moment, I’d like to tell you that I’m so stoked that the UFC on Fox 5 card is finally here. After a year that seems to have been cursed, we’re finally getting a main card that hasn’t been affected by injuries. That alone is quite a feat.
What makes this event even better is that it’s arguably the best main card of the year. With a lightweight title fight at the top of the card and other fights with serious divisional implications, this is the can’t-miss event that everyone has been yearning for the whole year.
Matthew Roth of Bleacher Report will be providing play by play from cage side. Please join him for an amazing night of fights.
