UFC Vegas 55 prelims preview: Can Parker Porter defy the odds?

It’s nice to be the largest MMA organization in the world. Even as UFC Vegas 55 is below average for a Fight Night card, it isn’t difficult to find something to pique the interest of MMA fans, even on the prelims. While the UFC might try to sell Chase Hooper as a future star, just know they once tried to sell Sage Northcutt in a similar manner. They rarely seem to get their hype machine behind the right guys, at least in terms of the early stages of their career. But Jailton Almeida... there might be something there beyond being a body on the roster.
