UFC Vegas 50: Santos vs. Ankalaev - Fights to make
Thiago Santos prior to his UFC Vegas 50 main event vs. Magomed Ankalaev.The main event may have failed to deliver, but UFC Vegas 50: Santos vs. Ankalaev was still a damn fine card with plenty of punishing action. Song Yadong made it clear that he’s ready for the bantamweight elite with a quick KO over Marlon Moraes in the co-main event, Sodiq Yusuff halted Alex Caceres’ five fight winning streak, and Alex Pereira kept himself on track for that eventual showdown with Israel Adesanya.
So, did Ankalaev just grind his way out of a title shot at light heavyweight? Any chance Dominick Cruz accepts Song’s callout? And is there anyone ready to step up and fight Khalil Rountree right now?
