This weekend’s UFC card is just not good. Even with a potential title shot at Amanda Nunes on the line for Irene Aldana the stakes feel low. And if both Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie happen to pick up wins, the whole thing will feel especially like an exercise in futility, in terms of finding fresh contenders at women’s bantamweight.
For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the MAIN CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi at 2pm Central today, Thurs., October 1st., 2020, right here on our SC channel.
