Next up? UFC 193 on Nov. 15.
It's that time of the year again. Ronda Rousey is about to step back into the Octagon, and with that, Facebook timelines will explode. Twitter will be popping with celebrities feigning fight fandom. Water coolers will become crowded with chatter about maybe going to see the fights at (insert name of local bar here).
Rousey has turned UFC events into actual events. That's something that hasn't been seen since the days of Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell.
Oh, and there are plenty of other fights on the card as well. Uriah Hall vs. Robert Whittaker is a tantalizing middleweight fight that could have major Top 10 ramifications. Joanna Jedrzejczyk will look to get some of the rub off Ronda and has a perfect showcase matchup opposite Quebecois grappler Valerie Letourneau. Oh, and Mark Hunt vs. Antonio Silva 2!
So what's worth talking about over the next week? Read on and find out.
