    This is definitely one of those questionable fight night cards that deliver in terms of action. Chilling with a beer or two and watching faded Pride legends pick up upset victories over younger opponents in 2018? Hard to beat that.

    Awesome killer instinct. Making off balance opponents pay with concussive blows is the sign of a true vet.

    I didn't follow MMA back at the Pride days, so i don't have any relation to many of those legendary fighters. I started watching some highlights with Jon Jones on Youtube back in 2012/2013 - then watched all of his fights, and started gaining interest in MMA and UFC afterwards.

    But ive tried to catch up on the past on most of the better UFC fighters since.

    Great win by Cowboy Oliveira - give him a top-10 opponent next.

    I don't think he's earned a top 10 tbh. Rematch with Medeiros or a fight with Mike Perry would be ideal.

    Despite Anders being short notice and the less experienced and skilled of the two I think Santos will find a way to lose this.

    I would like Oliveira to fight Masvidal, Maia or Lawler. He is 6-1 in his last 7. I think he smokes Medeiros in a rematch.

    Anders sucks but cant deny his chin or toughness.

    Anders in some trouble, but he is still in it. Looks like a rookie with some of his techniques.

    Anders needs to feint and come over the top with a right hand.... It's there with his pressure and Santos starting to fade. Especially if he can back him into the cage.

    10-9 Santos close. Stole the round at the end.

    Okay, Anders collapsing after the round. Santos with the win.
