Anderson vs Blachowicz 2: Main Event preview
Anderson, who is currently riding on the longest winning streak of his UFC career, aims to prove that his first win over Blachowicz was no fluke. The winner of The Ultimate Fighter season 19, Anderson has been a perennial contender for much of his career and has recently netted impressive victories over Glover Teixeira, Ilir Latifi and Johnny Walker. He now looks to make it five wins in a row and finally earn his shot at UFC gold.
Blachowicz, who is coming off the two biggest victories of his UFC career, intends to avenge his 2015 loss to Anderson in impressive fashion. Blachowicz, who is one of the most successful Polish athletes in UFC history, holds wins over Jacare Souza, Luke Rockhold, Jimi Manuwa and Jared Cannonier. Now, he aims to cement himself as the clear No. 1 contender in the division by snapping Anderson's win streak.

Sanchez vs Pereira: Co-main event preview
Sanchez had earned back-to-back impressive wins before losing in his most recent appearance against new welterweight contender Michael Chiesa. The 38-year-old has a couple more ticks in the loss column in his resume over the last several years, but there is no denying that Sanchez still brings it on Fight Night and can be counted on to leave it all in the Octagon.
His opponent, Pereira became a viral sensation in the MMA community before arriving in the UFC for doing backflips off the fence in the middle of a fight. The 26-year-old made a spectacular entry into the Octagon with a first round TKO of Danny Roberts. He, however, comes into this fight on the back of a decision loss to Tristan Connelly. So, he will look to get back among the wins and so will the veteran Sanchez. With both men known for stoppages, there is every chance of seeing another stoppage when they clash on Saturday.
