Well, it’s here. UFC 263 is finally upon us and normally an event like this would be the biggest one of the summer. That’s not quite the case here as we still have a Conor McGregor bout in the.

Another week and another UFC pay-per-view is heading your way and honestly, I don’t have a great feel for how people are receiving this weekend.

UFC 217 had Georges St-Pierre dropping and then submitting Michael Bisping to win the middleweight title, T.J.
