We do like 44 cards a year, and then we have The Contender Series and all the other things that we do.“So not every card is going to be for you. Not every card is going to go, ‘Oh, wow, this is the one I have to see.’View Tweet: https://x.com/hashtag/UFC332?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwPinas’ KO of Pulyaev was one of the scariest on the card and left the middleweight with a $100K performance bonusGettyWalker left Parkin in a scary state after his finish on the early prelims cardGettyThe Brazilian caught Parkin with a thunderous knee in the first round to secure his first win at heavyweightGetty“Who gives a s***.
