Not exactly the best offering the UFC has ever put together, especially considering how much of their talent is based in and around New Mexico, but this card has also been a little bit snake bit by injury trouble—on the prelims at least. Tim Means was supposed to take on Ramazan Emeev, and now will face newcomer Daniel Rodriguez. Dequan Townsend is in on short notice to face Devin Clark. And Shanna Young has been called up from Invicta to replace Nicco Montano against Macy Chiasson. Still, Miller/Holtzman, Kenney/Dvalishvili, & De La Rosa/Paiva all should be fun, so it’s not a total loss.
