Tonight’s UFC Vegas 38 event was headlined by a light heavyweight bout featuring Thiago Santos taking on Johnny Walker.<\/p>\n
Santos (22-9 MMA) had entered tonight’s contest in hopes of snapping a three-fight losing skid. The former light heavyweight title challenger<\/a> suffered a unanimous decision loss to Aleksandar Rakic in his most previous effort at UFC 259.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Johnny Walker (18-6 MMA) was returning from a year-long hiatus this evening at UFC Vegas 38. The Brazilian had last competed at UFC Vegas 11, where he earned a first-round knockout victory over Ryan Spann<\/a>. That win had snapped a two-fight losing skid for Walker, who had previously suffered losses to Corey Anderson and Nikita Krylov.<\/p>\n Tonight’s UFC Vegas 38 main event did not result in the highlight reel knockout many fans were anticipating. Instead, the normally fierce Brazilians remained very cautious throughout the fight, resulting in a twenty-five minute affair. Thiago Santos was able to land a few heavy shots during the contest, which proved to be the difference in the fight.<\/p>\n Official UFC Vegas 38 Result: Thiago Santos def.
