UFC Fight Night 137: Thiago Santos vs. Eryk Anders & Alex Oliveira vs. Carlo Pedersoli RBR

All 3 judges have it 29-28 for Leites. As expected. Easy fight to score.

 

Not that I had much faith in Lombard(50/50 fight) but wow. I'm amazed that even he managed to throw that away. Leites leg was chopped to bits in the first. Lombard has worse lungs than David Price.

 

That's good to see though. Usually the gloves on the canvas come after a brutal defeat(most recently Mike Pyle and Jake Ellenburger) Leites can walk out with his head hung high.

 

Easy to sell. Ex college football player(an elite one at that) brief stint at that. To his credit despite the cringe hype he is definitely cutting his teeth in the sport. He took this on short notice. Definitely not a guy looking for an easy ride to the top.

 

Mayra Bueno Silva vs. Gillian Robertson - 3 rounds at Women's Flyweight

 

Silva wins via armbar in the dying seconds of the round!

 

Ben Saunders vs. Sérgio Moraes - 3 rounds at Welterweight

 

War Saunders!

 

Yeah I had him winning 48-47 if I remember correctly, but it was definitely an extremely close fight. I think it came down to two clear rounds for each and then one really close round that could have gone either way. That was also in Brazil I think. Not going to beat a Brazilian fighter like that, especially a legend like Machida.
