UFC 276 Could Have the Best Fight Card We’ve Seen in 2022

By

UFC 276 is happening this weekend and is bringing with it one of the best fight cards we’ve seen all year. Two championship bouts are taking place on the main card, and other UFC fan favorites including Sean O’Malley and Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone are entering the Octagon as well. Read on to learn more about who’s on deck to fight on Saturday, how you can watch the UFC 276 live stream online with ESPN+, and why you don’t want to miss out on what is shaping up to be one of the biggest pay-per-view events of 2022.

UFC 276 is a pay-per-view event, and the Ultimate Fighting Championship always brings the heat with these numbered monthly exhibitions. You can expect at least one championship bout for such events, but UFC 276 features two: The main event is a showdown for the UFC Middleweight Championship, with Israel Adesanya defending his title against Jared Cannonier. For the co-main, UFC Featherweight Championship Alexander Volkanovski is facing title challenger Max Holloway.

Both champions are undefeated in their current weight classes and have multiple title defenses to their names. This will be Cannonier’s first championship bout, but Holloway is no stranger to UFC gold. The Hawaiian fighter is actually the former UFC Featherweight Champion, a title he lost to Volkanovski at UFC 245 in 2019. He subsequently challenged the new champ for the title at UFC 251 the following year but lost again via split decision. This will be Volkanovski’s and Holloway’s third rodeo, but with the reigning champion the current favorite to win, it will be an uphill battle for the former champ to retake the gold.

Those championship contests aren’t the only fights worth watching at UFC 276, though. Also on the main card is a bantamweight bout between Pedro Munhoz and rising star Sean O’Malley. O’Malley’s colorful personality and in-ring antics have led him to develop something of a cult following among fans, despite the fact that he has not yet challenged for the championship and sits at 13 in the bantamweight rankings. Another fan favorite, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, is fighting on the preliminary card. Some other noteworthy talent we’re looking forward to seeing on the UFC 276 fight card includes Sean Strickland, Uriah Hall, Jessica Eye, and former welterweight champion Robbie Lawler.

You can check out the entire UFC 276 fight card below. The UFC makes changes to its event lineups regularly, but as of now, this is who fans can expect to see in the Octagon on Saturday. If you’re planning to watch UFC 276 online, then you’ll need ESPN+, as this is the best way to live stream UFC fights and is the only venue for watching UFC pay-per-views in the U.S. The good news is that if you’re a new subscriber, you can save $45 on a one-year ESPN+ membership when you sign up and grab the UFC 276 PPV for just $100 (normally $145 if purchased separately).

A toast to excellence: Don’t overthink lighting a cigar…but don’t underthink it either 
Face, Head, Person

When I first decided I was ready to try cigars for the first time, I was ready to jump right in and sit back to enjoy the experience. Then, something crazy happened. I couldn’t light it. It seemed so simple. Flame, meet cigar. It really couldn’t be that complicated. But I ran into a slew of problems. The wrong kind of flame, canoeing, an uneven burn, and the damn thing kept going out, causing me to restart the embarrassing process. So I reached out to my friends over at La Aurora to find out what I was doing wrong.

That is when I found out from their own John Gaglio that these issues are very common and there is no reason to be embarrassed. Instead, don’t overthink lighting your cigar. And don’t underthink it. Instead, try to use the following tips and enjoy the experience without shame.

Topgolf brings back John Daly to continue to “disrupt” the game
john daly

To the uninitiated, golf can feel like a stuffy game. There is a dress code, there is an etiquette, and you even have to be quiet. At a sporting event. For those of us who love golf (don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan but believe it is called golf because the other four-letter words are taken), we recognize golf isn’t stuffy as much as it is steeped in tradition. But there has always been one man who shirked the shackles of the tradition and disrupted the game of golf with one of the most immaculate vibes in the sport, John Daly. With his drinking, smoking, wild pants, wilder mouth, and general who-gives-a-sh*t nature, he was everything golf wanted to keep out. Now, the game embraces him and his vibe, and Topgolf brought him in to continue the disruption.

I love the vibe at Topgolf. It’s a place where you can smash a golf ball, listen to music, have a drink, and enjoy yourself with friends and family. That’s my kind of golf. – John Daly

Cigar Lounge Spotlight: The Carnegie Club takes you back to Rat Pack days
Couch, Furniture, Body Part

Three blocks south of Central Park, before you find yourself lost in the hectic environment of Times Square, is a cigar lounge tucked back away from the hustle and bustle. It almost feels like a secret. A place only those in the know are privy to. Of course, if that is the intention, then lovers of this establishment will be coming for me in no time with their pitchforks. I am talking about The Carnegie Club—a cigar lounge sitting on 56th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue. From the moment you walk in, it doesn’t feel like a normal, run-of-the-mill bar. No, this has a New York feel, but a specific kind of New York feel. One that harkens back to the days of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. This feels like the Rat Pack days.
