Diggin’ Deep on UFC on FOX 29: Poirier vs. Gaethje - Main card preview

Though there are contests on the prelims of UFC on FOX 29 that feature fighters who are thought to be better than those who open up the main card, but that hardly means the UFC is skimping on the fight quality for that section of the card. Instead, the UFC is maintaining a theme of action fights that stems from the top. Nobody has ever accused Justin Gaethje, Dustin Poirier, or Carlos Condit of being in a boring fight. Though young in his UFC career, the same could be said of Israel Adesanya. Or Cortney Casey. For all the crap the UFC has received from the fans and media – some of it well deserved, some of it not – it doesn’t deserved to be thrown under the bus for the main card here. In fact, I would highly recommend it for those who are more causal observers as this should be damn good television.
