We have some pretty good fights this weekend on FOX.
Saturday
1:30pm - (Fightpass) - Olympus
This is an event using a pretty new ruleset called Karate Combat. I took a look at it and its very similar to MMA with 2 very big exceptions. First, you can't clinch. If you do clinch, you are expected to immediately attempt a throw, and if its not successful, you let go. Second, they don't really have a ground or submission game. You can do a takedown (or if you knock someone down with strikes), and then they give you about 5 seconds to try to finish the fight, after which you have to stand up.
Eh, whatever, I probably won't watch it.
5pm TV - (3pm Fightpass/5pm FOX) - UFC Fight Night, Alvarez vs. Poirier 2
The prelims are OK (the early fightpass prelims are arguably better than the FOX prelims), but the main card is fantastic for free TV.
Tuesday
7pm - (Fightpass) - Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series
