You know you're getting at least one awesome fight out of this deal.
That's what MMA fans are thinking, and that's what UFC brass know they're thinking. It's probably the reason why they solidly soldered Donald Cerrone and Jim Miller to the business end of UFC Fight Night 45, a card going down on a Wednesday evening and thus one that is generally more prone to neglect than their average event.
Because now, for the hardcore set anyway, this is borderline can't miss territory. Not to get all carnival barky on you, but Cerrone vs. Miller is one sure-fire, money-in-the-bank pier-sixer. You'll have to throw away the mold for this one. You better get Grandma tucked in nice and early, Holmes. No niceties in this affair. Mano e mano, will this lightweight division contest be.
Now that I've said all that, one of these guys is going to slip on a delinquent gob of Vaseline in the prep point, but we're going to cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, this is a paper tiger for Fight of the Year.
So really, it doesn't even matter what's on the rest of the card. But even so, there are a few good ones. Among the stars is the UFC's first official women's strawweight fight, although it was somehow and strangely relegated to the online-only realm.
In any event, here is a complete guide to the wheat and the chaff alike, including information capsules, predictions and viewing coordinates. Please enjoy.
