A decent slate of prelims bolsters the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s return to Atlantic City on Saturday at Boardwalk Hall. The featured fight figures to have some guaranteed action: Nate Landwehr always brings the entertainment, and he draws underrated veteran Jamall Emmers as a dance partner at featherweight. Right below them sits the most important bout on the UFC on ESPN 54 undercard, as Virna Jandiroba looks to defend her women’s strawweight ranking against Lupita Godinez, who seems to finally be piecing everything together. From there, we see the usual mix of Dana White Contender Series alumni and prospects in matches made for action, though a clash between Andre Petroski and Jacob Malkoun does stick out as a particularly intriguing battle between middleweights with similar styles.
