UFC 173 has had it’s up and downs heading into tonight’s event. The original main event was between Chris Weidman and Lyoto Machida was moved to UFC 175 after an injury. When that occurred Renan Barao, arguably the #1 P4P fighter in MMA, moved into the main event and onto the marquee.
To add some more spice to the card Daniel Cormier choose to except a fight against MMA veteran Dan Henderson. That fight had long been rumored for UFC 175 but both fighters agreed to move it up. The heavy handed Robbie Lawler decided to return fairly soon after his last fight against Welterweight Champion Johny Hendricks, which will probably end up being crowned fight of the year. Jake Ellenberger will try to show that he should be next at a welterweight title shot. With these 3 fights UFC 173 stacks up favorably against any other of the UFC cards so far in 2014.
