UFC Vegas 13 went down on Saturday night at the APEX Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the main event, Glover Teixeira survived a couple of scares to beat the hard hitting Thiago Santos. ‘Marreta’ was saved by the bell in the second round, but found himself in another rear naked choke at the start of the third round. But this time, there was no bell to save him from him from his fellow Brazilian.
In the co-main event, Andrei Arlovski became only the eighth fighter in UFC history to win 19 fights in the promotion, by defeating Tanner Boser via unanimous decision.
Elsewhere on the UFC Vegas 13 main card, Raoni Barcelos beat Khalid Taha in an entertaining bantamweight matchup, Giga Chikadze landed a spectacular head kick on route to a first round TKO victory over Jamey Simmons, and Yan Xiaonan earned the biggest win of her career by beating the former strawweight title challenger, Claudia Gadelha.

That being said, Santos is coming back from a long layoff and big knee surgery. I thought it was going to be a quick win from him, but Teixeira came back big https://t.co/seVNkjWEyO

Oof! Great to see Thiago back but his ground game needs a massive overhaul. Classic Glover Texeira. Tough as nails, cooked his food and then finished when he needed to.

Those flying knees are very accurate. #UFCVegas13

These lads are a problem for anyone. UFCVegas13
— Dan Hangman Hooker (@danthehangman) November 8, 2020
Taha is tough!!
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) November 8, 2020
Damn you can tell If there was 2 more seconds left Herzog would have stopped that. ? #UFCVegas13
— Tatiana Suarez (@tatianaufc) November 8, 2020
Wow Barcelos looked phenomenal and super well rounded everywhere!
— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) November 8, 2020
The difference is the versatility of attacks from Barcelos. Taha isn’t doing anything but boxing. Taha has crisp hands and power but it’s 1-dimensional as we’re seeing. He needs something big here or Barcelos is running away with this clear win. #UFCVegas13
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) November 8, 2020
Usada took taha fight away
— Chito Vera (@chitoveraUFC) November 8, 2020
Taha is tough mofo! Respect!
— Marvin Vettori (@MarvinVettori) November 8, 2020
Awesome fight#UFCVegas13
Man what a fight so much skill and heart and guts!!!!???
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) November 8, 2020
Taha is a soldier and Barcelos is super dope! Impressive stuff gentlemen!! #UFCVegas13
— Alan Jouban (@AlanJouban) November 8, 2020
That fight was awesome! Barcelos and Taha ? #UFCVegas13
— Jan Blachowicz (@JanBlachowicz) November 8, 2020
Barcelos vs Taha was an absolutely amazing fight. These dudes aren’t even ranked and that look like a top ten level fight in any other weight class.

Giga Chikadze vs Jamey Simmons:
Beautiful head kick.
— Chito Vera (@chitoveraUFC) November 8, 2020
CLEAN!! Giga kick to the body then the follow up kick to the head. #UFCVegas13
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) November 8, 2020
Body kick, looks low again while going high instead. Pretty much perfect #UFCVegas13
— Jared Gordon (@JFlashGordonMMA) November 8, 2020
Ohhhhhh that was such a relaxed patient performance by giga
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) November 8, 2020
Wow!
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) November 8, 2020
Giga Chikadze's kicks are incredible!
— Leon – Asian Persuasion MMA (@Leon_APMMA) November 8, 2020
I thought the stoppage was a little early though. I feel that Herb Dean has stopped a few fights a little too early since his run in with Dan Hardy at UFC Fight Island 3. #UFCVegas13
Nice fight @giga_chikadze I accept for December buttcheeks let’s go @ufc
— Jeremy Stephens (@LiLHeathenMMA) November 8, 2020
Claudia Gadelha vs Yan Xiaonan:
Great fight. Well done ladies.

Not only does she possess the best sidekick (would’ve liked to seen it more for this fight) in the @ufc imo, Xiaonan has a powerful fighting spirit for every round. Nice win!
