February 2018 provided a decent number of contenders for a potential Fight of the Month candidate.
The first event of the month was CES 48, where we saw the first potential contender as Brian Marino and Jerome Mickle slugged it out in Rhode Island. That same weekend we saw Thiago Santos and Anthony Smith go to war on the same card that Lyoto Machida and rising star Eryk Anders battled it out for 25-minutes in Belem, Brazil.
Great start to the month, right?
