Prediction: correct Santos   correct Decision  

I just don't think Escudero presents enough offensive threats to remain in the UFC for long, hence his history.

Kind of surprised they brought Escudero back again.

Prediction: wrong Escudero   wrong Decision  

I figured they would've brought back Escudero for UFC 180 instead of this one.

It's kinda weird how they're signing Mexican fighters and not saving them for the Mexico card. They got that Juan Manuel Puig guy and fed him to freaking Adriano Martins instead of saving him for 180. Akbarh Arreola also got signed & tossed to a random dude although he might be fine by then.

I thought the same thing, and they aren't even giving them favorable match-ups to help build them. Seems a little odd.

I like my local talent but everytime I watch Escudero in a UFC fight he never seems to have that sense of urgency and always seems to lose.

Prediction: correct Santos   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I'm still not convince of Leonardo Santos's staying power with the UFC but I'm even less a fan of Escudero who has shown a weakness to getting submitted; I'll take BJJ expert on this match in his home country

Efrain's first fight back in the UFC since 2012, he's gonna be trying hard to secure another fight so I see him playing a good careful game with Santos
