Tomorrow night (Sept. 22), UFC Sao Paulo takes place inside the Ginasio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In the main event, Thiago Santos will meet Eryk Anders in a light heavyweight encounter. Santos tipped the scales earlier today at 203.7 pounds, while Anders clocked in at 205.6 pounds. Both men will face off for the cameras and fans.
