Half the main event is Cyborg rather than facing Nunes, facing someone who's never even been in the UFC (sound familiar?) , the other half is Edgar being Edgar & taking a dangerous fight instead of waiting to face Holloway who's out with an injury. Wild. Edgar is as fighter mentality as they come man. At any rate, I guess we can call Cyborg's fight againstsomeone imported to the UFC and not in her weight class a title fight but that feels borderline disingenuous. At any rate, Dern's UFC debut, Beneil Dariush, and Dodson are all ppv level names, but are sort of smattered across the broadcast elements like prelims and main card making for a long ass night if you want to see the name value fights.It's a good broadcast with some mid-level fights for consideration in terms of the debut of a women's prospect: Mackenzie Dern, and Beneil getting back up toward the momentum nearing a title shot. John Dodson tries to climb toward a title shot not against Demetrious Johnson, at 135. Dolloway and Lombard are winding down their careers and relevance but professionals nonetheless, so we'll see if they have much left in the gas tank.
