\nUFC<\/a> will be holding a card on the same day as
\nMost Valuable Promotions<\/a>\u2019 MMA debut on Neftlix, it wouldn\u2019t be
\naccurate to call it counterprogramming by the Las Vegas-based
\norganization.<\/p>\n
\nAllen<\/a>, who will headline
\nUFC Fight Night 276<\/a> against Melquizael
\nCosta<\/a> in a featherweight bout at the UFC Apex on May 16 in Las
\nVegas.<\/p>\n
\nthe UFC is really trying to compete,\u201d Allen said on “The Ariel Helwani Show.\u201d<\/a> \u201cNot to put me and
\nMelky down, but let\u2019s be real. Star power, like, they ain\u2019t trying
\nto compete.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMVP card<\/a> is headlined by a women\u2019s featherweight clash between
\nRonda
\nRousey<\/a> and Gina Carano, a matchup Rousey is touting as the
\nbiggest female fight ever. The event also includes Francis
\nNgannou<\/a>\u2019s return, as he takes on Philipe
\nLins<\/a> in the heavyweight co-main event, while fan favorites
\nNate
\nDiaz<\/a> and Mike Perry<\/a>
\nwill lock horns in another featured contest.<\/p>\nThe Height of MMA<\/h2>\n
\nbut it isn\u2019t likely to attract the casual fan. Allen won his first
\n10 Octagon appearances but is looking to regain momentum after
\nlosing three of his last four bouts against top-tier competition
\nsuch as Movsar
\nEvloev<\/a>, Max
\nHolloway<\/a> and Jean Silva<\/a>.
\nCosta, with a six-fight winning streak, enters the bout in the role
\nof up-and-comer. A victory over Silva would likely propel the
\nBrazilian into serious contention at 145 pounds.<\/p>\n
\ntalk s–t, but let’s be real. This is two guys in our primes. The
\nheight of MMA.<\/p>\n
