It’s been a minute! Finally, the UFC has graced us with its return. The last time we watched fights, we saw some fireworks. Mike Chandler made his debut in massive fashion, Conor McGregor got dropped in his return and Dustin Poirier catapulted himself to the top of Lightweight Division.
But after a 2-week hiatus, the UFC is back to its usual once a week schedule. The Ultimate Fighting Championship comes to us live with an ESPN+ card one week before their return to PPV at UFC 258. Although, you’d think this was the PPV with how good of a card this one is. The Ageless Wonder, Alistair Overeem takes over the main event against the big Russian Alexander Volkov. While Frankie Edgar makes his return in the co-main against top Bantamweight contender Corey Sandhagen in what could be a Bantamweight title eliminator. Let’s take a look at the rest of the card:
The extended fight odds:
We are running with some quick picks this weekend! Rolling with a lot of favorites, hopefully, we can build off our last card!
