This UFC Buenos Aires card started out as a pretty interesting event that slowly but surely got eaten alive by injuries. What’s left is okay, it might even end up being wild and fun, but fans would be forgiven for giving everything but the top two bouts a pass. Neil Magny vs. Santiago Ponzinibbio should make for a fascinating fight, if not necessarily high action, and Ricardo Lamas vs. Darren Elkins should be a bit of a war. Cynthia Calvillo vs. Poliana Botelho is the only other fight that has much impact on the top of its respective division.
But, if you’re still interested in the prelims, we’ve got a detailed breakdown of them, right here:
