Hesitancy Gave Thiago Santos a UD Victory in the UFC Vegas 38

Former UFC light heavyweight title challenger Thiago Santos broke his three-fight losing streak. Unfortunately, the performance from Santos and his challenger Walker wasn’t as desirable as most fans and critics had expected.

The fun, flashy, and dangerous style of Johnny Walker had seemingly been tamed at SBG Ireland, which resulted in Thiago Santos outscoring his fellow Brazilian native to a unanimous decision.

Preliminary Card Stole the Show and the $50k Bonuses

Outside of Alexander Hernandez’s first-round knockout, the main card bouts at UFC Vegas 38 failed to deliver any stoppages. However, the preliminary card was non-stop action, with six fights ending inside the distance.

No ‘Fight of the Night’ honor was awarded, but Casey O’Neil, Jamie Mullarkey, Douglas Silva de Andrade, and Alejandro Perez all walked away with $50k post-fight bonuses for their respective knockout and submission finishes.

Jamie Mullarkey bombarded Devonte Smith with a mixture of striking attacks to score a TKO finish, making him the biggest underdog of the night at +130.

The UFC returns to the Apex Center in Las Vegas this weekend for UFC in Vegas 39, where the women’s strawweight division claims the spotlight as Muay Thai specialist Marina Rodriguez battles with the former #1 ranked Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champion, Mackenzie Dern.
