Diggin’ Deep on UFC 234: Whittaker vs. Gastelum - ESPN prelims preview

The televised prelims of UFC 234 – the first televised PPV prelims on ESPN – are just as underwhelming as the Fight Pass prelims. Like I said in my previous preview, the entirety of the UFC 234 card – sans the top two fights – is the most disappointing card in recent memory. I will admit there are some contests that look like they could be fun, but none of them feature a true up-and-comer, much less a notable name. That isn’t to say there aren’t any names that could grow into someone to watch – Devonte Smith comes to mind – but there is reason to take caution with any prospects to be seen on ESPN.
