Check out the fight card and bout order for UFC Vegas 38.

The UFC’s first of five shows in October takes place on the 2nd inside the APEX facility in Las Vegas. An all-Brazilian battle between former light heavyweight title challenger Thiago Santos and knockout artist Johnny Walker will serve as the main event. Kevin Holland, who hopefully at this point has figured some things out with his defensive wrestling, gets co-main status against Kyle Daukaus.

I’m sure one of the most anticipated fights on the entire card is a surefire welterweight banger between Alex Oliveira and Niko Price. A rescheduled women’s bantamweight bout between Aspen Ladd and Macy Chiasson is also lined up for the main card. Joe Solecki vs. Jared Gordon is the featured prelim, with Valentina Shevchenko’s sister Antonina set to face Casey O’Neill.
