UFC on FOX 17 is just one day away and it’s a strong card considering how many quality fights were reserved for last week’s tripleheader of shows in Las Vegas. The main event is a lightweight championship bout between Rafael dos Anjos and Donald Cerrone, a rematch of a contest won by RDA in 2013, but this time dos Anjos is the champion. In the co-main, Junior dos Santos battles Alistair Overeem in a heavyweight tilt which could also double as Overeem’s last fight inside the Octagon. Overeem is a free agent after Saturday night.
As usual, before we get to the fights ahead we have to make sure they’re all on course to make weight.
