The First Fight Of UFC's ESPN Era Has Been Announced, And It's...Uhh...Something!

On January 19th, LIVE from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York – the UFC will hold its first ever event on ESPN programming, and last night, that card’s first bout was announced.

It’ll be Paige VanZant, returning to the octagon for the first time in almost a year – coming off back-to-back losses – taking on Rachael Ostovich, a 4-4 Flyweight from Season 26 of The Ultimate Fighter – also coming off a loss.

It’s uhhh…certainly some fight to announce as your first on ESPN! I can say that!

Like MacMally said…fascinating stylistic matchup. Absolutely fascinating. Looking forward to it. Got it. That’s the one. Okay. You know? You know. Ja feel the vibe I’m puttin’ off here. Alright then.

Welcome to the ESPN era!
