The UFC is back this week with an all action/some-name value card set to air on a Saturday morning. Chad Mendes returns for the first time since his second defeat to Jose Aldo last fall. He’ll be taking on another recent title contender in Ricardo Lamas. But, those aren’t the only name fighters on the card, as Gray Maynard, Dustin Poirier, Clay Guida, and Liz Carmouche are all fighting as well. Plenty to talk about and a lot of close fights to break down.
As always, if our Ooyala video isn’t working for you, you can watch the full show over on YouTube. While you’re there, remember to give us a “Like” if you enjoyed the show, and to subscribe to MMANATIONDOTCOM for more Bloody Elbow interviews and analysis.
