Take a look at the fights lined up for UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Anders, which takes place on February 3rd in Belem, Brazil.
The UFC used to hold major events on Super Bowl weekend, but that will not be the case in 2018. In fact, they’ll be in Brazil on the eve of the NFL’s big championship game, as the city of Belem hosts a UFC show for the first time ever. The main event is a middleweight bout between Lyoto Machida and Eryk Anders, as Anders looks to propel himself into the division’s top-15.
Also on tap is Valentina Shevchenko against newcomer Priscila Cachoeira, in what is Shevchenko’s debut at flyweight, as well as middleweights Thiago Santos and Anthony Smith.
