Every now and again, we go through a lull in the UFC’s typically jam-packed schedule. Welcome to that lull.
Think about this for a minute: Starting July 7 with UFC Fight Night 90, and ending with UFC 204 on Oct. 8, a stretch of 93 days, the UFC put on 15 shows. That’s one event every six days or so.
After the cancellation of UFC Fight Night 97, we won’t see another show until UFC Fight Night 98 in Mexico City on Nov. 5 – a full month in between events, which will be the promotion’s longest stretch without an event in four years.
So in the downtime, we figured it would be a good time to take a look back at some of the best photos we’ve seen this year from the USA TODAY Sports shooters over 31 UFC events in eight countries. We’ll take it a month at a time, day by day.
Today, check out the 50 best photos from July and its whopping six cards: UFC Fight Night 90, the TUF 23 Finale and UFC 200, all in Las Vegas; UFC Fight Night 91 in Sioux Falls, S.D.; UFC on FOX 20 in Chicago; and UFC 201 in Atlanta. Then don’t miss Monday’s look at the best photos from August’s events, and stay tuned every day till you’re all caught up on the year in pictures.
Check out the full photo gallery below. And above, don’t miss the best-of-the-best video.
