UFC Fight Night: Weidman v Gastelum
UFC Fight Night: Weidman v Gastelum

The headliner that was never supposed to happen, Eryk Anders and Thiago Santos have both stepped up to fill in the gaps left by Teixeira and Manuwa, when both were forced to pull out of the fight.

Neither man is at an exact disadvantage given the fact they both prepared in a short amount of time.

With Anders coming in off a high after knocking out Tim Williams, and Santos coming off a win as well, the fight is expected to be a good one. Santos will have to change the game plan he had for Manuwa, whose offence was a strictly striking one when he faces Anders. Anders is more well-rounded, and unless Santos prepares well, may shock the Brazilian by stealing a win away from him on his home turf.

The fight card of UFC Fight Night 137 may not look like much, but it may be one of the most underestimated cards of the year. Expect some shocks, when the fights start on the 22nd of September.
