No UFC over the extended Thanksgiving weekend? No problem! Just because MMA's top promotion is silent on the Saturday after the holiday, it doesn't make it a Saturday without the best in competitive violence.
Thanksgiving week in MMA is generally a light weekend of action. Most years, the fights take a backseat to a full four days of college and NFL football.
As 2023 is coming to a close, there is but two UFC title fights left for fight fans slated for the year. At UFC 296, Leon Edwards will look to defend his welterweight title against Colby Covington and in the co-main event, Alexandre Pantoja welcomes Brandon Royval as a challenge to the flyweight throne. Let's take a look back at the best performances from title tilts this year.
While this fourth weekend in November has a light schedule of events in MMA, it isn't light on action. Between Friday and Saturday night, there are eight total championship fights to be held across the PFL and Cage Warriors.
After a night of titles in Bellator 301 on Friday and four championships from A1 Combat on Saturday, the final act of this championship weekend in MMA sees the sport head to Milwaukee, where Anthony Pettis' APFC sets up shop at the Baird Center for APFC 9.
From time to time in MMA, you will be witness to something that you would not ordinarily get to see on a fight night. Consider this Saturday night one of those times where you can witness one of those rare moments in our sport.
While Urijah Faber's A1 Combat will play host to its second "Night of Champions" event in A1 Combat 15, the rarity comes in the first title fight of the evening. This has the potential to be an exciting night and an exciting fight.
