Despite losing two of its top three attractions on short notice, UFC Fight Night 182 on Saturday in Las Vegas seems to still have an unexpectedly strong main card by 2020 standards. The Thiago Santos-Glover Teixeira headliner could help determine the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s next No. 1 contender at 205 pounds—so long as Jan Blachowicz’s rumored champion-versus-champion title defense opposite middleweight boss Israel Adesanya fails to materialize—and everything else on the menu offers some sort of interesting angle. Tanner Boser has shown some intriguing improvements ahead of his heavyweight co-main event with Andrei Arlovski, and bantamweight Raoni Barcelos remains one of the organization’s most underrated talents.
