If this is your first time noticing that UFC IS BACK, I'm very sorry, go watch UFC 249 from last weekend instead of this card, but if you've already seen that and you're looking for more cool fights, we're here for you for this completely normal Wednesday UFC card.

I'm usually all about prelim fights but even I can't pretend there's anything on these that I give a poo poo about, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Our main card starts off with Michael Johnson fighting someone I don't recognize, as is appropriate for someone who's lost as much as he has lately and is still somehow in the UFC.

Then we've got an Andrei Arlovski fight, rumor has it that he's recently made some lifestyle changes that should result in him having a pretty good performance, so expect him to get immediately knocked out in true heavyweight fashion.

Ray Borg is coming up to 135 to fight Ricky Simon, this should actually be a pretty good fight but I have a feeling Borg won't be able to keep up.

Drew Dober vs Alexander Hernandez is probably the fight I'm looking forward to the most, Drew Dober is probably the best lightweight that nobody knows, both his last two fights ended in a knockout under 70 seconds each.

For the co-main event, we're slowing things down a little bit with OSP finally coming up to heavyweight, weighing in at 240.5 lbs makes it seem like he's not taking this lightly, but we'll see if he can get past Ben "Always 265" Rothwell.

Finally we have Anthony Smith vs Glover Teixeira, a fight that doesn't actually matter because neither one of them will ever have another title shot, despite both technically being in the LHW top 10.

Broadcast starts about 30 minutes from this post

First fight is probably at 4pm with only 4 fights on the prelims, could be 330 but not likely

It is on ESPN+ as far as I know (unless you're international). There also aren't fights for another 13 minutes, so it might not be launched on fightpass yet.

Her saying that as he stood inches from her and then continuing to talk as the camera pulled miles away is a powerful energy to bring here, but I'll see if Rothwell gets near a microphone before calling it the most awkward thing we'll see tonight

First time in a long time I've seen Dana cage side for prelims on a Fight Night. I guess thats just the situation with the pandemic.
