The
Ultimate Fighting Championship‘s busy March continues with
UFC Fight Night 203.
The card is headlined by a light heavyweight bout between
contenders Thiago
Santos and Magomed
Ankalaev, who both successfully made weight. The weigh-ins were
devoid of any drama, as all 14 bouts are going ahead with all 28
fighters successfully hitting their marks.
A former title challenger, Santos (22-9) bounced back from three
straight defeats by beating Johnny
Walker in his last outing. While the fight didn’t live up to
the hype, “Marreta” will look to give a more exciting showing here.
Santos officially weighed 205.5 pounds for his sixth UFC main
event.
Meanwhile, this is the first UFC headlining spot for Ankalaev
(15-1). The Russian fighter hasn’t lost a bout since his UFC debut
in 2018 to Paul Craig,
and has since rattled off seven straight victories. The biggest
fight of his career comes after wins over Volkan
Oezdemir and Nikita
Krylov. Ankalaev stepped on the scale weighing 205 pounds on
the dot.
UFC Fight Night 203 will stream in its entirety on Saturday on
ESPN+. The main card starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, while the
prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT.
