With Zuffa’s latest ill-titled PPV offering fast approaching, it’s time for a thorough analysis of the bouts on offer this weekend. The card is one I expect to have, at best, limited appeal to the casual viewer. Neither Penn nor Sherk, the putative headliners, is renown as a draw. The only man on the card who has any drawing history, Tito Ortiz, is third from the top and fighting someone who appeals only to hardcore fans. Make that “a few hardcore fans”. There are a pile of guys even most hardcore fans haven’t heard of. That said, there are some intriguing matchups in store.
