The 5 Must-See MMA Fights to See in April | Bleacher Report

Clear your calendars, ladies and gents. There's a full schedule of mixed martial arts on deck for the month of April.

Between single fight cards from Bellator, Invicta FC, ONE FC, World Series of Fighting and four cards from the biggest show in town, there's little reason you shouldn't spend every waking minute catching up on the latest happenings from inside the cage, no matter that cage's shape.

The April showdowns get underway this Saturday in Fairfax, Virginia, as Dana White and Co. bring Chad Mendes and Ricardo Lamas to the Patriot Center. Six days later, Scott Coker and the boys from Bellator bring their rising lightweight champ to please the crowd at the Bren Events Center in Irvine, California. The list goes on and on from there.

But fine, let's assume you don't have the luxury of dedicating a seemingly endless amount of time to your television set. Let's assume, for whatever reason, you can only pick five of the 60-plus bouts to watch. Scroll on through the slides to see which are poised to bring you the biggest bang for your buck....

The only reason why I only partially post is to get members to click the link and show credit to the original author. I totally see the value in posting the goods but I feel like I'm ripping these guys off :(

Agreed. Legally, we're only allowed to post a certain amount of the article anyway.

I would swap Machida/Rockhold with Jacare and Romero, but those are the top 3 for sure.

Yeah, these sites and journalists live on their hits and it isn't fair to put the vast majority of their articles in the thread.

Lol Thanks D. In all seriousness I was waiting to fly home and got a text from the wife saying I got a package so I asked her to open it assuming it was shirts from IWEI. I got spammed with all sorts of photos and that was the best one as far as posting in the public forum....
