Saturday’s UFC Sao Paulo event is in the books, and now that the dust has settled in Brazil, it’s time to go to the scorecard to see who the big winners were at Ginasio do Ibirapuera.
1 – Thiago Santos
Ah, to have options. After a hard road to his first UFC main event, Thiago Santos is not just a dangerous light heavyweight, but a dangerous middleweight as well. So which direction will “Marreta” go after his Saturday stoppage of Eryk Anders? Light heavyweight may be the quickest road to a title shot, and when you think of the possibility of intriguing showdowns with the likes of Jimi Manuwa, Volkan Oezdemir, Glover Teixeira and Dominick Reyes, it’s almost like a fresh start for the Brazilian.
