The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday takes a brief pause from its festivity-oriented spectacles with UFC on ESPN 55, as it goes down at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The card may be lacking in terms of ranked names but could make up for those deficiencies with entertaining matches that have an impact on the organization’s divisional landscape. On top of that, a handful of skilled athletes are also fighting for a significant climb in the Sherdog Rankings.
The premier draw of the card lies in the main event, which features ranked flyweights Matheus Nicolau and Alex Perez crossing swords in an attempt to bolster their case toward title contention.
