The UFC is set to return after a short hiatus with UFC Fight Night 39. Headlined by Roy Nelson and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, the event hosts a bevy of up-and-comers and veterans who should make for a fun night.
The nine-fight card has been relatively quiet since there have been no injuries outside of the scrapped Alptekin Ozkilic vs. Dustin Ortiz bout. That being said, the card hosts some of the fighters with Middle Eastern backgrounds such as Alan Omer, Ramsey Nijem and Beneil Dariush.
Looking ahead, let’s take a look at five reasons for you to watch this card Friday morning/afternoon.
