The first month of the UFC’s 2018 campaign is already in the books, but there is no slowing down as the action moves outside of the United States for the first time this year with Saturday’s Fight Night: Machida vs. Anders event in Belem, Brazil.
Headlined by a middleweight clash between former title challenger (and light heavyweight champion) Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida and surging newcomer Eryk Anders, with bantamweights John Dodson and Pedro Munhoz holding down the co-main event, this weekend’s fight card is another example of an event with plenty of familiar names and a handful of upstarts looking to steal the show.
