This week’s UFC Fight Night may not have a lot when it comes to attention grabbing star power, but it has several ‘must win’ bouts scattered across its 13 fights that could make for some fascinating upset potential. In the main event, Leon Edwards puts what should be surefire title contender status on the line against Belal Muhammad. While further down the card, Manel Kape and Dan Ige both look to prove that they still belong in the conversation of their respective division’s elite athletes.
