Smartest Guy at the Bar: UFC 198 Edition

The countdown to UFC 200 is in full swing, the landmark event now just two pay-per-view stops away. Before the Ultimate Fighting Championship heads back to its Las Vegas home in July, the promotion must focus on the business at hand. UFC 198 “Werdum vs. Miocic” on Saturday in Curitiba offers the strongest lineup to ever emanate from Brazil. It comes at a unique time, too. The UFC’s South American hub is currently embroiled in a political corruption scandal echoing through Brazil’s highest corridors of power. Though more important issues are at hand for the vibrant country, the UFC will touch down with its best foot forward.
