UFC Sao Paulo: Santos vs. Anders - Winners and Losers

Given the insane amount of changes to the card prior to the event, I get the feeling the UFC was satisfied with how UFC Sao Paulo turned out. There were several impressive finishes and a few more successful debuts for newcomers. The evening was topped off with a slobberknocker between Thiago Santos and Eryk Anders that only ended after Anders could no longer physically stand, forcing the referee to call an end to the contest between rounds. Was it fun? You bet your ass it was. However, the conclusion also served as a stark reminder of how unforgiving this sport can be.
