They should really call this UFC Saskatoon: Night of 1,000 Cult Faves.
Because that's really what UFC Fight Night 74 is. The card, airing Sunday from Saskatchewan's capital city (Canada), is not great, exactly. But it could be far worse, thanks in large part to its heavy emphasis on fighters who get the hardcore fan-set's blood bubbling.
In the main event, you have a compelling matchup between two exciting young featherweights in Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira. The winner of this will surely be deeply embedded in the contender conversation moving forward.
But hold the phone right there. There are crowd pleasers and personalities all up and down this card, from Patrick Cote to Sam Stout, Chris Beal to Nikita Krylov. This card has "fun fights" and "fun night on Twitter" written all over it.
Fun stuff. And seriously, what else are you doing on a Sunday evening, especially now that Game of Thrones and True Detective are over? So sit back, relax, fire up that Sunday pot roast and enjoy our complete guide to UFC Fight Night 74, including information capsules, predictions and viewing coordinates for every contest on the slate.
