The UFC is back in action this weekend, at the Apex Center in Las Vegas, with UFC Vegas 13: Thiago Santos vs Glover Teixeira. This is the complete results from Friday’s early weigh-ins.
UFC Vegas 13 features a main event with a lot on the line, as Thiago Santos returns from injury to face veteran Glover Teixeira. This bout was originally expected to determine the number one contender to face new champ Jan Blachowicz. However this may have changed with the news that Jan would be facing Israel Adesanya. Nevertheless this bout provides a bit of clarity for the 205lb division, and the rest of the card is littered with some pretty fun matchups. Between the likes of Andrei Arlovski, Darren Elkins, and Claudia Gadelha there are some good veterans on the docket, but up and comers Tanner Bosser, Ian Heinisch, and Khalid Taha will look to make a statement as well.
