It may be a few weeks earlier than usual—and it is not actually the last card of 2019—but the Ultimate Fighting Championship certainly appears to have continued its tradition of ending the year with a bang. In an era in which the UFC has focused more and more on stacking specific cards, this still might be the most loaded offering of the last 12 months, at least from a hardcore fan’s standpoint. Having three title fights does not automatically make it so, but the fact that the top two—the long-awaited Kamaru Usman-Colby Covington welterweight clash and Alexander Volkanovski’s bid to unseat featherweight champion Max Holloway—represent two of the best fights the UFC can currently stage certainly puts this card over the top.
