The Underground King keeps his crown. #3 seed Eddie Alvarez had little trouble with #2 Anthony Pettis, taking him out by a wide margin - 49-15. That means the #2 seeds are so far 0-3, with only Shinya Aoki left to avoid the sweep. Alvarez now moves on to the Elite 8 and a tough match-up against Ben Henderson.
Today, former UFC champion and #1 seed Rafael dos Anjos is back in action. He takes on one of the tournament’s underdogs, the #5 ranked Joe Lauzon.
