Check out the fight card and bout order for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Anderson vs. Blachowicz 2 card in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
The UFC is headed to New Mexico on Saturday, February 15th for a very intriguing Fight Night lineup. In the main event, light heavyweight contenders Corey Anderson and Jan Blachowicz have a rematch that has major title implications. Anderson beat Jan by decision back in 2015, but the stakes are much higher now and both fighters have improved.
Your co-main is longtime fan favorite and former lightweight title contender Diego Sanchez against wild, crazy man Michel Pereira. This fight is destined to be pure chaos given Pereira’s “boom or bust” style. I’d argue the best bout on the card is Lando Vannata against Yancy Medeiros, two action fighters who are likely to be in contention for a $50,000 bonus check. On the prelims, keep an eye on rising bantamweight prospect Nathaniel Wood against veteran John Dodson.
