This is a weird weekend, because we have a TON of fights on fightpass. And, lets see... oh of course Bellator is also going to be on. Well, lets dive in then.

edit: Just because I was curious, I just counted the number of fights. Between Fightpass, Spike, and FS1, there are 54 MMA fights and 9 Kickboxing bouts this weekend, and as you can imagine about 1/3 of the MMA matches are stuffed into the Pancrase card.

Friday

5:30 pm - (Fightpass) - TKO 41

Canadian local promotion from Quebec. Seems about average by local promotion standards, they seem to have the best local fighters in the city, but who knows if that means anything.

7pm - (Fightpass) - Invicta FC 26

Its about average by Invicta's low standards. There are a couple prospects who the UFC might be watching, including whoever wins the 125 belt in the last match since they are just opening that division up in the UFC.

Saturday

12:30 pm - (Fightpass) - Glory: Redemption

Its kickboxing, I don't know how good this card is, but it seems to have more hype than normal. If you don't want to watch kickboxing, then Bellator has an early card for you.

2pm - (Spike) - Bellator 190, Carvalho vs. Sakara

This short 5-fight card live from Italy looks really bad. Even with their MW title on the line, this is one of their worst cards of the year by tapology rankings.

7pm TV - (5:30pm Fightpass/7pm FS1) - UFC Fight Night, Swanson vs. Ortega

This card is a bit below average by UFC standards, but the hardcore fight fans will likely be interested because its loaded up with top prospects who might only need 1 or 2 more wins to break into the top 15 in their divisions. If you don't care about that, then tune in at about 11:30pm for what should be a fun fight between Cub Swanson and Brian Ortega

midnight - (Fightpass) - Pancrase 292

As usual, they have this loaded up with a silly number of fights, looks like about 17 this time. No commercial breaks, they just run them in and out of there. By their very low standards, this doesn't look bad I suppose, so if you are awake in the middle of the night, maybe have this running in the background on your computer.
