The UFC returns to action this week with another slightly uninspired card. They have to hope that their “better than expected” mojo holds up for Auckland, New Zealand, as they’re riding on Mark Hunt vs. Derrick Lewis and not much else. Dan Kelly looks to continue his improbable rise against Derrick Brunson, with appearances by Ross Pearson, Tim Elliott, and John Moraga.
