Preview: UFC Fight Night 141 ‘Blaydes vs. Ngannou 2’

After making its mainland China debut in Shanghai in 2017, the Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday takes on Beijing with what should be a fun card: UFC Fight Night 141. The UFC’s first attempts to conquer China, circa 2014, were a bit of a disaster, but just four years later, the country is now firmly where a country like Australia was a few years ago. There is no breakout star yet, but there is now a ton of native talent that can hang around on the roster and put on some entertaining fights. This follows the theme of a lot of recent non-pay-per-view cards -- an enjoying way to spend a few hours but nothing all that essential, save for the top one or two bouts.
