With hundreds of fighters to follow, it’s pretty tough these days to stick out immediately in the UFC. Most fighters toil on preliminary cards before fans get the message, although there are exceptions, such as flyweight Louis Smolka, who get attention right off the bat. Canadian lightweight Jason Saggo hopes to make an impression in his octagon debut at UFC 174, and history appears to be on his side. “You can see by my record, it’s a 100 percent finish ratio for the fights that I’ve won,” Saggo told MMAjunkie Radio. “So I’m just going to keep that intact; I’m going to do what I’ve always been doing. I go in there to finish the fights.” Saggo (9-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) meets fellow newcomer Josh Shockley (11-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) on the UFC Fight Pass-streamed preliminary card of UFC 174, which takes place tonight at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.
