UFC Fight Night 137 Results: Thiago Santos Scores TKO Win vs. Eryk Anders

Thiago Santos played headliner at UFC Fight Night 137 and didn't disappoint with a third-round TKO of Eryk Anders in front of a raucous Sao Paulo crowd.

Anders—who took the fight on a week's notice—made his game plan obvious from the outset: get the fight to the ground. He spent the first round trying to get Santos to the mat—to no avail.

The former Alabama football player did, however, avoid taking serious damage in the first five minutes.
