Big Things in the First Third of 2018 in MMA

It's kinda ridiculous what's on tap for the first 4 months of MMA in 2018:

We already had a card that featured Stipe become the most prolifc HW champ in UFC history AND DC defend his title against one of the more dangerous contenders at LHW. It's not even the end of January and this is what's happened and is in store. Last year was a flagship year for the UFC by any  metric, no matter how much of a Negative Nancy you try to be. Flat out. End of discussion. If this year can keep pace with its first quarter I see no reason why it can't do the same and hit at least the same water mark.

February 10th - Rockhold vs Romero
February 16th - Mitrione rematches Roy Nelson as part of Bellator HW tourney
March 2nd - Caldwell defends his Bellator belt
March 3rd - Holloway vs Edgar
April 7th - Khabib vs Ferguson & Thug Rose vs Joanna Rematch
April 13th - Chandler rematches Primus in Bellator
April 14th - Gaethje returns after a tough stoppage loss to Alvarez to face Poirier who is coming off of a dominant win over former champ Pettis
April 28th - Fedor faces Frank Mir in another first round matchup of the Bellator HW Legends Grand Prix
