The UFC’s last event this month is an FS1 show in Nashville, Tennessee. Yes, Artem Lobov is in the main event. Yes, it’s extremely ridiculous that the UFC wasted a five-round slot on an unranked journeyman. Yes, Cub Swanson is extremely awesome to watch, so at least we get to see him fight.
Swanson vs. Lobov aside, this is a really good event. Al Iaquinta is back, and he’s got Diego Sanchez in the co-main. John Dodson vs. Eddie Wineland is my personal favorite matchup on the card. You can’t go wrong with a Joe Lauzon fight, as he battles Scotland’s Stevie Ray. Welterweight KO specialist Mike Perry opens the main card against Jake Ellenberger.
