The Octagon remains in Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 38 event, a twelve-bout fight card headlined by light heavyweights Thiago Santos and Johnny Walker.
Santos (21-9 MMA) will enter tonight’s contest in hopes of snapping a three-fight losing skid. The former light heavyweight title challenger suffered a unanimous decision loss to Aleksandar Rakic in his most recent effort at UFC 259.
Meanwhile, Johnny Walker (18-5 MMA) will be returning from a year long hiatus this evening at UFC Vegas 38. The Brazilian last competed at UFC Vegas 11, where he earned a first-round knockout victory over Ryan Spann. That win had snapped a two-fight losing skid for Walker, who had previously suffered losses to Corey Anderson and Nikita Krylov.
UFC Vegas 38 is co-headlined by a middleweight matchup featuring Kevin Holland squaring off with Kyle Daukaus.
Holland (21-7 MMA) will be looking to snap a two-fight losing skid this evening. ‘Big Mouth’ is coming off of back-to-back unanimous decision losses to Derek Brunson and Marvin Vettori in his most recent efforts.
Meanwhile, Kyle Daukaus (10-2 MMA) most recently competed back in May, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Phil Hawes. Prior to that setback, the Philadelphia native had earned a win over Dustin Stolzfus at UFC 255.
Tonight’s UFC Vegas 38 event also features an exciting welterweight scrap featuring Alex Oliveira taking on Niko Price.
