Don't get me wrong; I'm going to sit down and happily watch UFC 330, but I'd be lying if I said the card looks great on paper. I've seen some amazing action come from cards that looked otherwise uninteresting. We won't need unexpected magic to emerge from UFC 331 — especially if the unconfirmed, but rumored battle between Arman Tsarukyan and Charles Oliveira gets added. As it is, two big additions to the card were announced on Wednesday.

Heavyweight prospect Gable Steveson is back in action after his successful UFC debut. He takes on Sean Sharaf. Also in the heavyweight division, the returning Robelis Despaigne faces free-falling, but popular heavyweight, Tai Tuivasa. Let's talk MMA.
