The UFC's most patriotic card ever has a main event built backwards — the American hero is a massive underdog on the White House lawn, and the deeper you dig into the matchup, the stranger the booking looks. Dave Simon and AJ D'Alesio go fight by fight through all seven bouts at UFC Freedom 250: two title fights, a co-main the oddsmakers flat-out refuse to call, and the underdog play Dave calls his boldest of the show.
