The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday takes to a country not yet ready for prime time but willing to throw millions of dollars for the company to post up. Inside of the Baku Crystal Arena in Azerbaijan’s capital, locals will be treated to not the first but the second major event within its confines; Rizin Fighting Federation got there first. With no Azerbaijani in the headliner, focus shifts to the rest of the main card, where three athletes born in the Asian European country will ply their trades. The UFC Baku edition of Prime Picks gives it up for those three nearby competitors while also suggesting a pair of stoppages to end the night well.
