Thiago Santos is 37 years old but he wants to continue showing that he can fight in the Octagan against anyone. But his last three fights were losses to Aleksandar Rakic, Glover Teixeira, and Jon Joes. Against Teixeira he lost by Choke in three rounds. Thiago is slower than before, his first fight was in 2013, that fight was a lost against Cezar Ferreira in 2013.

Jhonny Walker is known as an entertaining fighter, but in one of his last victories of 2019 against Misha Cirkunov at UFC 235, Walker injured his shoulder doing ‘the worm’ celebration. Walker was never the same after that injury. But his most recent fight was a win against Ryan Spann on September 19, 2020.
