Admittedly, I’m getting this week’s iteration of Hindsight out late. However, UFC Austin taking place on Sunday – rather than the usual Saturday -- in addition to me adjusting to a new format for the regular column. UFC Austin ended up exceeding expectations as Derrick Lewis and Donald Cerrone righted their ships to make them marketable again. Plus, a number of prospects pulled off impressive performances to give the fans hope for the UFC’s future.
As for the change in format, I decided to deemphasize the narrative of what happened in each contest. Eddie Mercado and Tim Burke do a fantastic job of recapping the action in the cage and often I felt I was rehashing what they already said.
