It’s finally fight week again. After days, weeks, maybe even years without a UFC card, MMA is back on our radar, and in a serious way. With five events cancelled so far in 2020 (and likely many more in the process of being moved and rescheduled) the UFC wanted to make a point with their UFC 249 PPV card. This needed to be an event fans couldn’t afford to miss. And for the most part, it seems like that’s what they’ve managed. Two title fights, and ten former champions and title contenders all told, with numerous name veterans to fill out the rest of the evening.

If you’re interested in diving into the pretty solid undercard as well, we’ve got you covered with the PRELIMS Vivi right here on Bloody Elbow Presents.
