UFC Mexico is so bad that it broke Connor’s internet. That’s right fam, Zane and Connor set out yesterday to record the main card episode but were unable to complete it due to an internet outage. We view this as a sign from the fight gods to abandon ship. There was about 16 minutes of uninterrupted content, so we decided to go ahead and host it, then give it away for free. Let’s take a look at the event’s main portion and the alternative stats:

UFC Mexico is an ugly, ugly card. The alternative facts tell a very grim tale. But before you dive in and listen to our guys analyze these bouts, I’d like to draw your attention to the fact that you’re getting the prelims early and the main card late. There was a technical glitch, and to make a long story short, it didn’t get recorded. So, you’ll get that one tomorrow, but today, you get the prelims, and they’re FREE.

Now, let’s take a look at the event’s preliminary bouts and the alternative stats:

UFC London has some good looking fights on the card, as should be the case when we get an on-the-road events. The alternative stats don’t look terrible, and the action quotient looks like it could present us with a banger of a show. Will Sean Brady be able to best the former champ or will Leon Edwards return to form and shut him down. And for those of y…

UFC Vegas 104 has a deceptively decent alternative facts list, but don’t let that fool you. We have a more than healthy dose of Contender Series, TUF and Road to UFC alumni here—17 in total, or more than half the card. There’s just a single ranked fight on a card with 13 bouts total. Are ya picking up what I’m putting down yet?

Now, bearing all that in m…

UFC 313 has a solid main card that looks like it has all the ingredients for an action-packed night. At the top of the event is a title fight to be contested at light-heavyweight between reigning champion Alex Pereira and Number 1 contender Magomed Ankalaev—a real wrestling vs. striking bout that will test the grappling of Poatan and the chin of Ank.

We…

We’re back at the Apex for another watery card. After last weekend’s Seattle event, it’s hard to look at this bout roster and think that it holds much promise, but lest we forget, for the 18 people that will watch this card, it will probably be gangbusters for them, thanks to being loyal enough to want to spend a Saturday night with a bunch of fighters …

Another weekend, another UFC card—this time, we get an on-the-road show in Seattle. It’s not terrible, but the accursed injury bug ravaged this event to the point of being unrecognizable. That said, there are some good contender bouts and some well-matched prospect contests that could give us a glimpse of the next crop of contenders. At the top of the c…

Did you guys think because we got a dismal PPV card last week, that UFC would somehow reward you with a better card this week? If you did, you’d be a gullible soul and I might possibly have a bridge to sell you. That’s right, kids, we’re back at the Apex and back to a spate of ugly upcoming cards. This one features Jared Cannonier facing off against hou…
