UFC 290 has a terrific undercard | Vivisection

It’s been so long since we’ve been treated to a truly worthwhile card, we’re just bubbling over. The main card is loaded with a pair of title fights and a title eliminator. The prelims are equally praiseworthy with the retirement fight of Robbie Lawler after a 22-year career filled with amazing knockouts and bloody battles.

Thank you for listening to this Bloody Elbow Podcast. Our posts are public so feel free to share them.

The rest of the prelims are just a laundry list of certified bangers that any fight fan can appreciate. We’ll finally see the return of Tatsuro Taira since his previously scheduled fight was moved to this card. Taira’s future looks incredibly bright so his fights are automatically “must watch” TV.
