Please note that the “care/don’t care preview” is in no way intended to disrespect the fighters in question and is merely our attempt to evaluate the marketing efforts on behalf of said fighters by the UFC and their management.

- Nate tells a story of a Chicago loan shark/extortionist at a “client’s” funeral
- Is Urijah Faber too old to beat Michael McDonald
