UFC Fight Night 52 full event card & why you will be pulling an all-nighter

Roy-Nelson

After two exciting Fight Night events in the last two weeks, the UFC has one more gracious offering this coming Saturday prior to the mammoth UFC 178 pay-per-view in two weeks time.

UFC Fight Night 52 will be exclusively airing on UFC Fight Pass from the Saitama Super Arena in Japan, and that means to watch the card live you will have to be awake in the wee hours of the morning.

The first fight of the night will begin at 12:30 am ET on Saturday morning, which is 9:30 pm PT on Friday night. The main card will begin at the ghastly hour of 3:30 am ET, but we guarantee to you that this card is fully worth staying up all night for.

In the main event, two heavyweight sluggers will throw down in one of the most anticipated heavyweight bouts in quite some time. Pride legend Mark Hunt takes on former TUF winner Roy Nelson in a clash of heavy handed behemoths.

Simply put, the main event is an absolute can not miss fight, so even if you are uninterested in the rest of the stellar card, make sure you wake up for the main event battle.
