While it may not do blockbuster business, next weekend’s UFC 209 is a massive card for hardcore MMA fans. Headlined by a pair of quite intriguing title fights, the card also includes lots of fan favorites, and several of the highly regarded prospects on the roster at the moment. The most important event is going to be the welterweight title rematch between Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson. Their struggle on the huge UFC 205 card turned out to be a far better competition than many expected, end in a vast majority draw. Woodley had the a lot more demonstrative moments in the struggle during the first and fourth rounds. But, Thompson managed to back him against the cage for long stretches of the rounds, and even though he didn’t accomplish much once there that he took those rounds. The fifth saw Thompson open up on a weary Woodley and finish the struggle on a solid note, but it had been just enough to get him back flat on two scorecards. Just as Woodley and Thompson did at UFC 205, the co-main event could steal the show here as well. The interim lightweight title bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson features just two of the fighters in the branch who have taken the long road to their name shots. Nurmagomedov is currently 8-0 within the Octagon and 24-0 entire in his career. He’s been exploited for large things considering entering the UFC, and after overcoming a rash of severe injuries, eventually seems always fit and is favored to win the buckle on March 4th. Ferguson has witnessed his own bumps in the road on the road to this particular shot. After winning the 13th year of’The Ultimate Fighter’ back in 2011, he scored three consecutive wins. He dropped a decision to Michael Johnson in 2012 that just halted his momentum for a moment. Since then, he has reeled off nine consecutive wins against the likes of Rafael dos Anjos, Edson Barboza, and Josh Thomson, consistently putting on must-see fights. The combination of Nurmagomedov’s dominance and Ferguson’s high-paced, all-action approach makes their bout of the best bookings at the UFC in a while, and almost makes you forget that there is a guy out there holding the UFC lightweight name who seems to have no desire to defend it. The main card of UFC 209 also offers a heavyweight rematch between Alistair Overeem and Mark Hunt. The two fought DREAM back in 2008 under a variety of circumstances. Overeem was only beginning his transformation into Ubereem, while Hunt’s devotion to the sport was about in line with Mario Yamasaki’s want to prevent fights on time. Both men are much different fighters at this point, as Overeem has adopted a much more conservative style and Hunt has rounded out his game considerably. In their first battle, Overeem immediately took Hunt down and submitted him, but we haven’t seen a lot of his offensive fighting game recently. Will this fight mark its return, or will the K-1 Grand Prix champions engage on the feet? Rounding out the main card, former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans makes his long-awaited middleweight debut against the constantly surprising Dan Kelly. The currently 37-year-old Evans is 2-4 in his last six, and has not won a fight since 2013. Kelly, despite turning 40 later this season, has impressed in his UFC conduct — although the level of competition was a far cry from what Evans could have offered in his prime — heading 5-1 despite being that the betting underdog in every one of his UFC outings. Finally, among the rising stars at lightweight has the chance to flaunt his striking, although from a technical standpoint this may be his stiffest test yet on the feet. Lando Vannata stormed into the UFC, nearly upsetting Tony Ferguson on brief note in his debut, then scoring the popular choice for 2016’s knockout of the year against John Makdessi. He will be facing an underrated opponent in David Teymur, with a pair of TKO wins his UFC restart after breaking into the organization through TUF. The undercard also includes some struggles to keep your eyes on, as undefeated prospects Mirsad Bektic, Luke Sanders, Paul’The Bear Jew’ Craig, and Tyson Pedro make their returns. The latter two have been paired together in a light heavyweight division which desperately requires fighters to rise up the rankings. Meanwhile, Bektic and Sanders face their stiffest professional evaluations against Darren Elkins and Iuri Alcantara, respectively.
