This week its all on Fightpass, so lets see what you get for your subscription...
Friday 5pm - (Fightpass) - TKO 42 This is a local Canadian promotion thats fairly high level, and this show is no exception. Judging by tapology rankings, this looks like a pretty good card by B-level local promotion standards. If you don't like basketball, this is a decent alternative. Saturday 12:45pm - (Fightpass) - UFC Fight Night, Werdum vs. Volkov I subscribe to fightpass because I'm a crazy UFC fan and I gotta have the early prelims sometimes. Many months I probably don't get my money's worth, but its cards like this which make it worth it. This would not be a bad card on free TV, so its a really good fightpass only card. The 4 fights on the main card are pretty good, with a decent main event. After this event, we've got nothing until the next PPV in 3 weeks.

And just like that, Werdum's title hopes are pretty much dead for a while.
That HW Russian contender looked good.

yes, frequently. They are dark for most of March. Fightpass-only cards are the rare, weird exception.

If you've been waiting for a decent card to buy, UFC 223 will be the one.

Texas strikes again with their insanely low marijuana threshold. Niko Price, Curtis Blaydes, and Abel Trujillo all tested positive in Texas, are suspended 90 days, and wins by Price and Blaydes were overturned to No Contest.
USADA told the media that they are not suspending any of them because they all tested below their threshold.

2.5 weeks until a fantastic UFC PPV, as for this weekend there's a lot crammed into Saturday on Fightpass
Friday nothing Saturday 1pm - (Fightpass) - Cage Warriors 92 This is a full card of 13 fights at London's O2 arena, so this should go about 6 hours or so. Judging by Tapology rankings, this is a very good card by local promotion standards, almost every fight has one or both fighters regionally ranked top 25 in the UK. This promotion is basically the UFC's European feeder B-league so there are legit prospects here. 7pm - (Fightpass) - Invicta FC 28 Right after Cage Warriors winds down this will be starting up, there might be 4 or 5 legit prospects the UFC is interested in (as well as a couple demoted fighters that they probably are not), especially in the main event title fight since they badly need good strawweights. The fights that really matter won't start until about 9 or 10pm though, the first few fights are pretty much debut vs debut or 1-0 vs 1-0 entry level garbage.

If that summary doesn't get you excited for Invicta on Saturday, how about a special appearance by Elias Theodorou as their "Ring Boy"? Huh? Eh? Not so much? Didn't think so. He's a funny dude on twitter though, I wish him the best in his next fight.

The UFC is moving on from DJ vs. TJ, for now. Mighty Mouse is hurt and rehabbing a shoulder injury, and the UFC doesn't think he'll be back in time for the big July card so they are going to make TJ defend his BW belt against someone else.

Putting this up now because Alaska has another Wednesday card, but there's not much going on this week.
Wednesday 11pm - (Fightpass) - AFC 138 This card is utter garbage, even by AFC standards. We've got a lot of pro debuts, guys with losing records fighting other guys with losing records, and the main event is some dude from Oklahoma vs some fat guy from Alaska. Saturday 8pm - (Fightpass) - Glory 52 Don't like kickboxing? Too bad, we have no MMA this weekend.

Khabib and Tony Ferguson had a hilarious shittalk session on a conference call. The call is an hour long, but they have the funniest parts transcribed here

Question, seeing as there are all sorts of reports that Fox is telling the UFC to shove it for their TV asking price and is supposedly going to replace them with the WWE...where will the UFC go since their asking price is pretty outrageous.
