UFC Argentina: Three reasons why you should be watching
This Saturday night, the Octagon touches down in Buenos Aires, Argentina for UFC Fight Night 140. The fans in attendance for this UFC Argentina card are in for a solid night of fights.
UFC Argentina is a Fight Pass card, meaning you’ll have to subscribe to the service in order to watch it. Hopefully, that doesn’t discourage anyone from tuning in this Saturday night.
Neil Magny will take on hometown favorite Santiago Ponzinibbio in the evening’s welterweight main event. Magny has won two straight after getting mauled by Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 215 last September. As for Ponzinibbio, he has won his last six fights in a row and hasn’t lost since the middle of 2015.
With a solid main event and a total of 12 fights on the night, Fight Night Argentina is poised to be one of those sleeper cards that flies under the radar.
In case you need some extra incentive to tune in this weekend, here are three reasons why you should be watching UFC Fight Night Argentina on Fight Pass:
“The Hurricane” Has Arrived
Ian Heinisch will make his official UFC debut this Saturday when he takes on Cezar Ferreira in a featured middleweight bout.
Heinisch earned a UFC contract on the last season of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series when he TKO’ed Justin Sumter with elbows in the first round. “The Hurricane” is one of many fighters making their way out of FactoryX Muay Thai with head coach Marc Montoya.
Before earning his UFC contract, Heinisch held the LFA middleweight strap, although he didn’t have the chance to defend the title due to the Contender Series. If you’re unfamiliar with Heinisch’s fighting style lets just say he finishes fights if given the opportunity. He’s a fan-friendly fighter, which is why you don’t want to miss his UFC debut this weekend.
