Preview: UFC on ESPN 33 Prelims

The main card’s loss was the undercard’s gain for the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s return to Columbus, Ohio, as there are some surprisingly important and intriguing matchups on this seven-bout slate on Saturday at Nationwide Arena. It includes the featured prelim, which sees Top 10 welterweight stalwart Neil Magny defend his ranking yet again, this time against Max Griffin. Beyond that, there are actually three other pairings between fighters in the UFC rankings. Karol Rosa and Manon Fiorot look to break out as contenders in separate outings against Sara McMann and Jennifer Maia, while flyweights Matheus Nicolau and David Dvorak try to emerge in a tough division.
