UFC Vegas 87 is an ugly card, full stop. Despite the fact that the alternative stats look decent (ranked fights, fighters, etc.), the matchups don’t do much in the way of getting us amped to watch the card.

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has some business advice for UFC CEO Dana White. And it primarily concerns the company’s biggest-named superstar, who hasn’t seen action in nearly three years. Conor McGregor has been absent for a while now, and the sport has since moved on just fine. Yet, credit still goes to ‘The Notorious’ since no one has yet eclipsed the superstar status he’s achieved in the sport. At 35 years of age with a much larger net worth, McGregor remains eager to make a comeback.
