Diggin’ Deep on UFC 212: Aldo vs. Holloway - FS1 preview
Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY SportsTell me again why Raphael Assuncao and Marlon Moraes aren’t on the main card of UFC 212? Moraes has long been regarded as the best 135er not on the UFC roster when he was reigning supreme in WSOF. Now that he arrives, they do give him a quality opponent…but then place him on the preliminaries? Not sure if I agree with the strategy. Then again, I’m sure Moraes is happy with it. On a card not too many people are keen on buying, he’ll be seen by a lot more people by remaining on the televised prelims. So that’s what they were thinking…
The televised prelims begin on FS1 at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT on Saturday.
