The UFC takes plenty of guff for lackluster cards, especially those outside the pay-per-view tentpoles. So it's only fair, then, that they receive credit when they engineer an event that looks more than worth a viewer's time.
Such is the case for UFC Fight Night 154, going down Saturday night from Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville South Carolina. This card is positively hissing with violence. And that holds true even after news broke early Friday that captivating but oft-frustrating bantamweight John Lineker was a late scratch yet again, this time for the ever-popular undisclosed reason.
