Best free card? I'm seriously all ears on what's better. This is one of the few times I'm drawing a blank.
Covington vs Woodley was almost PPV level IMO.

Covington-Woodley
Cerrone-Price
Chimaev-Meerschaert
Walker-Spann
Dern-Markos
Holland-Stewart


although now that I'm looking at it, the upcoming Chimaev-Edwards card might be better.

If no one drops out, I might favor this one more just based off of competitiveness on paper. But that's a great call.
 
Just looked through 2 whole years worth and nothing close except the aforementioned card Woodley/Colby event.

We have a winner, without a doubt.


To be fair, it’s really hard to say what names at the bottom of the upcoming event will be future stars.

Chael / shogun
Browne / overeem
Faber / alcantara
Matt brown / Mike Pyle
John Howard / Urijah hall
Conor McGregor / Max Holloway
Michael Johnson / joe lauzon
Michael McDonald / Brad Pickett
 
I've said this before but UFN Japan 2014 Hunto vs Big Country imo will always be the best fight night and my fave all time. But that card right there is up there for sure, and maybe on paper is better.

Hunt won KO of the year in this and earned a long awaited title shot
Akiyama won after like 5 years
Rin Nakai finally making her UFC debut against top contender Miesha Tate
Lots of great memories

But I’m not here to nitpick @Substance Abuse thread. It genuinely made me curious because I, too, couldn’t recall one this stacked.

Chimaev fighting Edwards really peaks my interest. He’s the dark horse of the division and in my mind, just by the eye test, Edwards has improved a great deal since the usman fight. I genuinely think he’s the best WW in the world but he didn’t fight for a year and now he has to reassert himself. Chimaev looks as promising a prospect since...well, ever.
