We've got about 2 or 3 good fights on the UFC main card this weekend. Bellator has a card this weekend too, but its both very bad and tape-delayed, so **** them.
Friday
7pm - (Fightpass) - Invicta: Phoenix Rising 1
So, Invicta is doing something Friday night in Kansas City that I normally do not like, but it probably works in this case since its a small weight division, strawweight in this case. They are having an 8-woman single elimination one-day tournament. These are normally not fair because someone with 2 quick KO's might be facing someone who fought 30 grueling minutes, but in this case no one is getting knocked out, so maybe its fine. I'm not sure if the winner is getting the title, I assume so.
10pm - (Fightpass) - Friday Night Fights
This promotion is very small and usually has guys who are unheard of or very low ranked.
Saturday
3pm - (ESPN+) - UFC Fight Night, Iaquinta vs Cowboy
Well, all right then. Thats a cool main event. The main card (beginning 7pm) has 3 or 4 decent fights, but the prelims are a bit light. The main event should start sometime after 9:30pm if thats all you care about.
Sunday
7:15 am - (Fightpass) - World Lethwei Championship 8
So, I looked up Lethwei, and it is a Burmese form of kickboxing. Specifically, it is bare knuckle Muay Thai kickboxing with one very big exception: headbutts are not only legal, they are encouraged. Well, ok that sounds kind of nuts. Anyway, thats on Sunday morning.
edit: the invicta bracket
