UFC Sao Paulo has a new main event. Again.
After going from Glover Teixeira vs. Jimi Manuwa to Manuwa vs. Thiago Santos, Saturday’s Fight Night card in Sao Paulo, Brazil, will be headlined by Santos vs. Eryk Anders at light heavyweight, sources told MMA Fighting after a report by MMAjunkie.
The UFC card takes place at the Ibirapuera gymnasium on Sept. 22 and airs live on FOX Sports 1.
Anders (11-1) steps in only three weeks after a devastating knockout win over Tim Williams in August, bouncing back from his only MMA loss to Lyoto Machida in February, a close five-round decision in Belem, Brazil.
