Thiago Santos is a huge underdog heading into his fight Saturday with Jon Jones. But does that mean “Marreta” isn’t ridiculously dangerous? No, it doesn’t, as the video below demonstrates.
Santos has been tapped for the championship main event at UFC 239, as a result of a four fight winning streak. During that run, the Brazilian has taken out light-heavyweight contenders like Jan Blachowicz and Jimmi Manuwa, and in doing so, Santos has moved his UFC record to 13-5.
You can watch the top five knockouts Santos has recorded in the Octagon to date, below.
