The UFC returns to Mexico City this week, with what is definitely a fight card with fights on it. The main event is a rock solid featherweight contenders bout between Jeremy Stephens and Yair Rodriguez. In the co-main, former strawweight champion Carla Esparza faces off against longtime prospect Alexa Grasso. After that? Things get a lot less notable.
