Top-10 Viewing Options: A man still basking in his team’s ruthless destruction of Kyrie Irving attempts to take in the afterglow with a fantastic weekend of fights.
1. UFC 237: Best card of the weekend. Title fight and two hall-of-famers, with one actually still capable of fighting!
2. Bellator 221: Maybe no two fighters encapsulate Bellator more than Michael Chandler and Patricio Freire, two champions going at it in one of the biggest and best fights in Bellator history.
3. Francisco Vargas vs. Miguel Berchelt/Emanuel Navarrete vs. Isaac Dogboe: Damn solid card featuring two championship rematches. And on regular ESPN, no less!
4. Jarrett Hurd vs. Julian Williams/Paulus Ambunda vs. Stephen Fulton: Certainly not as good of a card. As I’ve said, at 154lbs, to me, it’s Munguia, Hurd, and everyone else.
5. Submission Underground 8: Aside from the big names, TAG. TEAM. GRAPPLING. Chael, you magnificent villain.
6. Fight To Win Pro 112: For once, F2W doesn’t have to carry the grappling load for the weekend.
7. Legacy Fighting Alliance 66: Standard LFA fare this weekend.
8. OneFC: Warriors of Light: Two title fights, granted pretty weak titles (one’s an inaugural) and nothing else, not even some big muay thai names.
9. Luis Alberto Lopez vs. Ruben Villa/Michael Dutchover vs. Ramon Mascarena Jr.: ShoBox returns with a solid lineup. Not even prospect vs. can lineup, either!
10. Rio De Janeiro Beach Wrestling World Series: HOMOEROTIC, YOU SAY?! NO MORE SO THAN THIS OIL I’M RUBBING ON THIS BANANA!
