June is one of those months where fight fans are going to be treated to four UFC events, but still score a weekend off in the middle, thanks to the first of the month falling on a Saturday.
That single-week respite in the middle of the month is going to be crucial “see your family” time too because when the action picks up again, it kicks off a run of nine consecutive Saturdays featuring action inside the Octagon, a stretch that wraps with Cormier vs. Miocic II at UFC 241 in Anaheim.
Before getting to that off-week and into the smorgasbord of fighting goodness that follows, the early June two-pack of events this week and next begins with a return to Stockholm, Sweden for the first time in two years for a card at the Ericsson Globe that wraps with three straight crucial contests in the light heavyweight division, capped by a headlining assignment for hometown star Alexander Gustafsson.
