Another decent sized PPV event from the UFC means another thin fight night card in the weeks following. Jared Cannonier and Kelvin Gastelum will battle to see who can reignite their middleweight contender status in the main event. Otherwise the highlight of the card is a flyweight fight between Alexandre Pantoja and Brandon Royval. Most of the rest is pretty forgettable.

For fans looking to dive deeper into the undercard, however, check out the Prelims Vivi below.
