3. Leonardo Santos vs. Efrain Escurado
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBkyIz026rA Weight Class: Lightweight Leonardo Santos (12-4-1) was the TUF Brazil 2 welterweight winner, and is looking for his first win following his TUF victory, as his only other fight in the UFC ended up being a draw with Norman Parke. He takes on Efrain Escurado (23-8) at Fight Night 51, who is embarking on his third stint in the UFC. Given Escurado has had almost zero success in the UFC in previous stints, it feels like the UFC is lining up a winnable fight to protect their TUF champ, but this should be pretty close. Santos by decision.
