Event primer - UFC Fight Night 34

Welcome to Leg Kick TKO, a MMA blog that's gonna watch every Olaf Alfonso fight on FIGHT PASS.

A brief note - This event is the UFC's first foray into their new Fight Pass system, which is good in theory, but in the reality of this card, is littered with fighters who I believe are entirely fictitious. As such, my notes on fighter styles and fight predictions will be even more slipshod than usual.
