A video preview for this month’s UFC 173 event is now available, and it’s actually pretty slick.
When the event lost its original headliner of middleweight champion Chris Weidman vs. Vitor Belfort (and then Weidman vs. replacement Lyoto Machida), the Memorial Day weekend card looked doomed.
However, UFC officials scrambled and pieced together a pretty respectable pay-per-view lineup, which airs May 24 from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Check out the above video and preview the night’s three big fights: bantamweight champion Renan Barao (32-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) vs. T.J. Dillashaw (9-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC), light heavyweights Daniel Cormier (14-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) vs. Dan Henderson (30-11 MMA, 7-5 UFC), and welterweights Jake Ellenberger (29-7 MMA, 8-3 UFC) vs. Robbie Lawler (22-10 MMA, 7-4 UFC).
