UFC 251: Leonardo Santos vs. Roman Bogatov

Leonardo Santos vs. Roman Bogatov

Mookie Alexander: Leo Santos fights once every nine years and looks fantastic, and then keeps getting these types of fights because he’s only around once every nine years. Leonardo Santos by submission, round 2.

Zane Simon: Bogatov’s game seems tailor made to fall into what Santos does best, even at age 40. Bogatov is very much a swing-n-cling grappler who only wants the fight on the mat. He’s going up against a BJJ champ who has a wicked body kick and power counterpunching arsenal. Any way you slice it, it’s hard to see an easy road for a Bogatov win. Leonardo Santos via submission, round 1.
