On the Rise: Prague Edition

The UFC makes its 2019 European debut this weekend as the Octagon lands at the O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic for a 13-fight card capped by a clash between light heavyweight contenders Jan Blachowicz and Thiago “Marreta” Santos.

Saturday’s event features a collection of familiar names from the region, as well as a host of up-and-coming European talents looking to use this opportunity to catapult themselves to bigger and better opportunities as the year progresses.

While the headliners will command the most attention and plenty of people will be paying close attention to the continued ascent of bantamweight up and comer Petr Yan, there is a trio of lesser-known talents with the potential to steal the show readying to step into the Octagon this weekend in Prague.
