UFC fans all over the world should be jumping up and down that this card is free. In my opinion,
some of these fights could easily be on the main cards of a PPV.
Here are some of the fights we should be looking forward to:
#3 Lyoto Machida vs. #5 Luke Rockhold:
#2 Ronaldo Souza vs. #6 Yoel Romero:
#5 Cub Swanson vs. #10 Max Holloway:
Machida is coming off of an impressive
TKO victory over CB Dolloway and is
looking to show that he deserves another
title shot. Rockhold has won three fights
in a row and is looking to move into top
contention with what could be one of his
greatest victories of his career.
Souza is currently on a seven-fight win
streak and his last loss was in 2011, to
the main event fighter, Rockhold. He is
taking on Romero who is on an impres-
sive five-fight win streak, with his last
victory over Tim Kennedy. Both of these
fighters could move up and be close to a
title shot with a victory.
Swanson is coming off of a loss to Frankie
Edgar and is looking to bounce back to
have his name being floated around for a
title shot. He is taking on Holloway, who
just recently beat Cole Miller by way of
unanimous decision and is on a five-fight
win streak. Some people think that this
is too big of a step for Holloway, but we
will find out on April 18.
