The UFC 300 hangover remains in effect. Two weeks after one of the best cards in Ultimate Fighting Championship history, the company on Saturday returns to the UFC Apex in Las Vegas for a much more typical event. The top three fights at UFC on ESPN 55 are at least interesting, if not immediately important to their respective divisional title pictures. The main event sees fringe flyweight contenders Matheus Nicolau and Alex Perez each try to rebound from recent losses in an intellectually interesting clash of styles, and the co-headliner serves as a surprisingly amusing bit of matchmaking from the UFC, as perennial Anthony Smith rival Ryan Spann faces “Lionheart” doppelganger Bogdan Guskov in a compelling light heavyweight affair.
