The UFC’s 25th anniversary event takes place at Saturday with UFC Fight Night 139. It goes down at the Pepsi Center in Denver (which hosted UFC 1 in November 1993) and airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. A featherweight matchup with “Fight of the Year” potential serves as the main event for the card. Former title challenger Chan Sung Jung (14-4 MMA, 4-1 UFC) returns to the octagon from a nearly two-year layoff when he takes on Yair Rodriguez (10-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC), who will also be making a comeback from his longest break between fights. In addition to the headliner, UFC Fight Night 139 features a former UFC champion, three former title challengers and a winner of “The Ultimate Fighter.” For more on the numbers, check below for 50 pre-event facts for the UFC’s 25th anniversary event
