Valor Fights 40 emanates from the Nashville Fairgrounds Arena in Nashville, TN this Saturday and airs live on Flo Combat. Here are three reasons to watch.

Massey looks to stay unbeaten

With Nathan Maness withdrawing from his title fight with Ronnie Lawrence due to injury, 22-year old bantamweight standout Edward "The Ninja" Massey faces Zac Cooper in this replacement main event. Massey (3-0) made his professional MMA debut last year and racked off three straight wins over Russell Johnson, Michael Erosa and most recently Ace Samples at Valor Fights 38 back in November. Cooper (3-2) had his three-fight win streak snapped in his last outing, suffering a unanimous decision loss to Rusty Crowder at NFC 90. The 23-year old makes his second appearance for Valor Fights as he fought last year at Valor Fights 35.

UFC veteran puts his grappling skills to the test

UFC and Bellator veteran Roli Delgado faces off with Tennessee's Bryan Tidwell in a high-level grappling match. The Ultimate Fighter Season 8 competitor hasn't fought in the cage since 2012 and looks to display his superior ground skills on Saturday night. If you're a fan of Submission Underground here on Flo Combat, you won't want to miss this matchup!

Alexander looks to lay down the law

Murfreesboro Police officer Charlie Alexander faces off with "GQ" John Henning in a 150-pound catchweight affair. Alexander (0-1) is a former amateur champion for Valor Fights and recently spent a week training at the prestigious Team Alpha Male camp in preparation for this matchup. The 26-year old dropped his professional MMA debut to featherweight standout Damir Ferhatbegovic last year at Valor Fights 38 and will be looking for his first pro-win. Henning (0-3) also looks to turn things around as he's dropped three-straight fights in his pro-career. The Charlotte, NC native isn't afraid to keep this fight standing, so fans can expect a potential 'Fight of the Night" on Saturday.
