There isn't merely one, but two UFC events this week. First up on the docket is tonight's UFC Fight Night 45, an event held in Atlantic City, New Jersey that is headlined by a lightweight clash between two absolute go-getters in Donald Cerrone and Jim Miller.
On Saturday, the UFC moves to Dublin, Ireland for the return of featherweight phenom Conor McGregor. Can he get past Diego Brandao? Is he really the future of the division? On one level or another, we're going to get some answers.
Since our last chat, the UFC has also signed bantamweight Holly Holm. I personally think everyone should manage their expectations about her upside, but it's a good signing and the right one for all parties involved.
Lastly, the UFC announced the co-main event for UFC 177: Demetrious Johnson vs. Chris Cariaso. it's so underwhelming, it's hard to describe, but it's worth a bit of discussion.
There's a lot going on, so join me today to discuss all of this and more. In terms of today's chat, anything is up for discussion, but I will lead with this and it all kicks off at 1 p.m. ET.
As is customary, I'll post the video window here as the event draws near and I'll answer any questions you may have if you post them in the comments section below. Be sure that you click the 'rec' button for those comments/questions you believe most deserve a response.
