Diggin’ Deep on UFC Copenhagen: Hermansson vs. Cannonier - Main card preview

I know I’ve already indicated this in my prelims preview, but UFC Copenhagen is a sneaky good card… for what it is. Normally, the cards that kick off in the AM’s in the western hemisphere tend to feature a LOT of debutants who don’t elicit much excitement or fighters on the fringe of the roster. While there is some of that, there’s more fights than usual that might pique the general MMA audience’s interest. For instance, Gunnar Nelson and Gilbert Burns are two of the best pure grapplers on the roster. That isn’t all though. Khalil Rountree is always fun. He’s going to get an opponent who refuses to back down in Ion Cutelaba. And there’s always some sort of ridiculousness when Ovince St. Preux and Alex Oliveira are involved. Yes… this should be a hell of a good time.
