It started out as a pretty decent PPV. But by the time fight night comes around UFC 260 feels a lot more like a seriously diminished product. The main event, between Francis Ngannou and Stipe Miocic still feels like a big fight. But Tyron Woodley vs. Vicente Luque and Sean O’Malley vs. Thomas Almeida aren’t quite carrying the hype the way they might have a couple years ago.
