Diggin’ Deep on UFC: Rozenstruik vs. Gane - Quality names litter the preliminary contests
Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC via Getty ImagesTypically, I’m somewhat lamenting the quality of the UFC’s preliminary offerings as I open up the preview for the upcoming weekend event. I can’t do that this time. The card hasn’t been ravaged too badly – at least not yet – and the UFC had built a strong card in the first place. There’s a lightweight contest with the winner having a very good chance of fighting a ranked opponent next. There’s an upstart moving up a weight class to women’s bantamweight – a division badly in need of fresh blood – against a tough veteran. Hell, even the one contest that features a late notice replacement offers some intrigue.
