Two former UFC light heavyweight title challenges clash in this weekend’s offering from the UFC APEX in Las Vegas. Both Glover Teixeira and Thiago Santos came up short when they faced Jon Jones for the strap, but with ‘Bones’ out of the division, both men are within striking distance of a new title shot versus new champ Jan Blachowicz.
The main event may be short on name recognition, but it could be high on upside. The co-main sees Canadian heavyweight Tanner Boser, who has seized his opportunities like few others during the UFC’s COVID era, take on former champ and veteran gatekeeper Andrei Arlovski.
