Why does it seem like whenever a UFC card is super unheralded and slept on, it turns into a banger?<\/p>\n

Saturday, at UFC on ESPN 71, the main event was a flyweight replacement fight put together only about a week prior. And by the metrics we see behind the scenes, it was set to be one of the least paid-attention-to UFC events of the year.<\/p>\n

But then we got two Fight of the Night winners, plus five killer stoppages in the desert. And now you can relive all of them above.<\/p>\n
