The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday returns with UFC on ESPN 18, which features an intellectually intriguing slate of prelims.

From a talent perspective, Kai Kamaka looks like the clear standout, as he steps in on less than a week’s notice for a featherweight tilt against Jonathan Pearce. Beyond that, there are a number of fighters who have something to prove, either through long-standing flaws that need to be fixed or as unproven talents who need to show they can beat strong competition.
