Diggin’ Deep on UFC Vegas 11: Covington vs. Woodley - Prelims preview

After a fight card that recently had only 7 fights due to a malady of injuries and illnesses, the UFC was done taking chances with smaller cards. At one point the UFC was working on having 15 fights scheduled for this weekend’s card in Las Vegas. As of now, there are 14 scheduled with one of Eduardo Garagorri’s cornermen test positive for COVID-19, cancelling his contest with Mirsad Bektic. More contests doesn’t mean a better card either. Just ask wrestling fans who tried to slog through Wrestlemania this year. That’s not me saying all these contests are bad. Most of them are perfectly acceptable UFC preliminary contests, if this wasn’t the COVID era.
