Super Bowl? What Super Bowl? Get geared up for UFC Fight Night 125 with this primer

LAS VEGAS – Yeah, we know there’s a big game being played Sunday with a ball. But tonight, we’ve got 11 games with fists.

UFC Fight Night 125 takes place tonight at Mangueirinho Gymnasium in Belem, Para, Brazil. The main card airs on FS1 following prelims on FS2 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida (22-8 MMA, 14-8 UFC) tries to snap a three-fight skid when he takes on unbeaten up-and-comer Eryk Anders (10-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC). Machida will be fighting in the city he grew up in, and the event is the first for the UFC in Belem.

In the co-feature, unbeaten Brazilian newcomer Priscila Cachoeira (8-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) takes on former bantamweight title challenger Valentina Shevchenko (14-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) in a women’s flyweight bout. Shevchenko will be testing out the division for the first time.

Shevchenko vs. Cachoeira was elevated to the co-main event slot when John Dodson (19-9 MMA, 8-4 UFC) chose to not fight Pedro Munhoz (15-2-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC) in their bantamweight bout after Munhoz came in four pounds over the limit at Friday’s weigh-ins.
