UFC Fight Night Comes To Prague<\/h2>\n

UFC makes its long-awaited debut in Prague this weekend, with a card headlined by light heavyweight brawlers Jan Blachowicz and Thiago Santos.\u00a0 Blachowicz is currently enjoying a four-fight winning streak, putting him in the best form of his career.\u00a0 Santos meanwhile will be having his 9th<\/sup> Octagon appearance in just over 2 years and will be looking to develop on his current professional record of 13 knock out victories.\u00a0 Either way, with plenty of punching power on both sides, this looks set to be a thrilling climax to the nights\u2019 fights.\u00a0 Added to this the winner of this bout will become the highest ranked fighter in the division not to have fought for the title – and with Jon Jones defending against Anthony Smith the following weekend, there is plenty of opportunities to fight for.<\/p>\n

The co-main event will be the heavyweight battle between Marcos Rogerio de Limo and the ever-popular Stefan Struve.\u00a0 De Lima made his debut on the 3rd<\/sup> season of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil, initially at Heavyweight, then dropped to light-heavy over his next half a dozen fights, but he did struggle somewhat with the weight cut, having missed weight on two occasions. He returned to heavyweight at the end of last year with a win over Adam Wieczorek.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Struve has now been competing within the Octagon for over ten years but has struggled to get back to his best form coming off three consecutive defeats.<\/p>\n
