The underrated fights to watch at UFC Fight Night 143 in Brooklyn, New York
Read Time:1 Minute, 6 Second
As the new year swings into full effect with UFC Brooklyn, so does a new era. The ESPN era.
Since 2011, Fox Sports held the reigns to the UFC’s television appearances with a heavyweight slugfest between a Brazilian knockout artist, Junior Dos Santos and Mexican-American, AKA product Cain Velasquez. As new viewers watched eagerly to see what this “bloodsport” was all about, Cigano wasted no time blasting Velasquez with an overhand right that sent the wrestler crashing to the canvas in just under a minute.
Now, just over 8 years later, a bout between two kings will headline the next step in the UFC’s venture to become a household name. Current bantamweight champion, TJ Dillashaw, who is fresh off of two violent KO finishes over rival Cody Garbrandt and is 8-1 in his last 9 will meet newly crowned flyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist, Henry Cejudo. Whether you are a casual or die hard MMA fan, this is a must see fight.
The co-main event features the UFC debut of former Dallas Cowboy, Greg Hardy. What about the rest of the card though? What fights aren’t getting enough attention?
