Another UFC Fight Night week with UFC VEGAS 24, another card that doesn’t seem likely to electrify fans—at least not on the face of it. Robert Whittaker is hoping to keep his spot as middleweight’s de facto top contender against Kelvin Gastelum in the main event. Jeremy Stephens is looking to right the ship back at lightweight for the first time in 8 years. Beyond that, there are plenty of fights, but not a whole lot of meaning.
For fans looking to dive deeper into the undercard, however, check out our Prelims Vivi below.
