Jeff Wagenheim, ESPNSep 9, 2024, 10:30 AM ETAt first glance, the UFC’s approach to celebrating Mexican Independence Day this coming weekend seems perplexing.UFC 306, which takes place Saturday at Sphere in Las Vegas, is headlined by a fight between an Irish-American from Montana and a New Yorker transplanted from the Republic of Georgia.
