The UFC heads to Nashville, Tennessee, with a decent Fight Night offering on Fox Sports 1 this Saturday, April 22. In the main event, longtime featherweight contender Cub Swanson draws Conor McGregor’s friend and training partner Artem Lobov in a bizarre but potentially entertaining main event.
That main event sums up a card mostly devoid of relevance to larger storylines or even to the title picture in any division, but it’s full of fun matchups.
The co-main event features a lightweight scrap between Al Iaquinta and the legendary Diego Sanchez, a fight that promises fireworks. Action fighter Joe Lauzon draws Scotland’s Stevie Ray in a fun bout, while Jake Ellenberger and Mike Perry will likely fight until one man is unconscious in the main-card opener.
The best fight on the card is a bantamweight matchup between John Dodson and Eddie Wineland, a fantastic meeting of two grizzled and talented veterans.
The prelims aren’t must-watch, but keep an eye on the flyweight bout between Brandon Moreno and Dustin Ortiz.
Let’s take a look at each matchup.
