While UFC St. Louis may have been the official first card of 2018, UFC 220 feels like the first real event of the new year. The world’s largest MMA promotion heads to Boston with a pair of title fights featuring fast rising KO artists. Volkan Oezdemir takes on Daneil Cormier in the co-main event for the light heavyweight title. And Stipe Miocic defends his heavyweight belt at the top of the card against Francis Ngannou. The rest of the card is short on names, but should be high on violence.
