Diggin’ Deep on UFC Mexico City: Rodriguez vs. Stephens - Prelims preview

Last week, I defended the quality of the prelims of UFC Vancouver despite knowing they weren’t the best. Not that I hid that fact, as that’s not the point I’m trying to make. Looking at the prelims for UFC Mexico City, I feel much better about my defense of UFC Vancouver. It shouldn’t be a surprise as the UFC tries to cater to the home crowds, particularly in areas that haven’t been fully opened. Plus, there aren’t a lot of fighters lining up to go to Mexico City after the horror stories of fighting in its high elevation. Remember, the idea of Sea-Level Cain came from the former heavyweight champion’s irregular performance in Mexico City.
