Diggin’ Deep on UFC 240: Holloway vs. Edgar - Early prelims preview
Per Haljestam-USA TODAY SportsI’m a big fight fan. I can almost always find a reason to tune into an event, whether a regional card or a UFC produced event. I can find reasons to tune into the early prelims for UFC 240 for myself without a problem. Trying to convince others to tune in… that’s a completely different story. I see a pair of women with potential to grow into contenders down the road squaring off. I see a former featherweight contender looking to reinvent himself in a new division… and I’m not talking about lightweight, but welterweight. I see a pair of debuting heavyweights with promise. However, to most fight fans, these contests are just filler. I’m sure there will be some that will call me hater pointing out most people don’t care about these fights. Others will accuse me of sucking up to the UFC for my positive outlook of these contests. Whatever. Can’t please everyone….
