Can Walker out-brawl Santos?

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back to breakdown this week’s UFC event in Las Vegas, NV. With picks, odds, and analysis for every fight on the card. From Thiago Santos vs. Johnny Walker in the main event down to Alejandro Perez vs. Johnny Eduardo in the opening prelim.

It feels like it’s been a few months since the UFC really put together what looks to be a fantastic Fight Night offering. Thaigo Santos vs. Johnny Walker has all the hallmarks of a surefire thriller. Kevin Holland returns in the co-main event, and Niko Price taking on Alex Oliveira should be a wild one.
