UFC 301 has arrived, and it certainly feels like a victim of the post-UFC 300 hangover. This ranks as one of the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s lowest-wattage pay-per-views in recent memory, but at least the top two bouts serve as a homecoming for two of Rio de Janeiro’s top fighters: flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja and all-time great Jose Aldo. However, even if Steve Erceg and Jonathan Martinez each make for interesting opponents, their lack of name value makes this a card only hardcore fans can appreciate. Beyond that, the rest of the main draw features Brazilian talent on the rise.
