UFC London delivered exactly as advertised. A Fight Pass card full of relative unknowns looking to make statements with exciting fights. Now if the UFC could just differentiate that from FS1 and FOX and occasionally PPV cards they’d really be on to something. Alexander Volkov announced himself as a new potential title challenger. Jan Blachowicz showed that he’s more than just a gatekeeper to getting a LHW ranking. And a few top prospects experienced serious hype derailment.
To figure out exactly what all that means and what the UFC should do about it, I’ll be using the classic Sean Shelby/Joe Silva method of fight booking.
