Thiago Santos plans to finish Jamahal Hill within two rounds: ‘If I don’t, he’ll suffer for five’

Former UFC light heavyweight title challenger Thiago Santos has another main event on his hands next Saturday, but does not intend for it to go the distance. Paired up against the rising Jamahal Hill, ‘Marreta’ intends to finish his opponent in the first two rounds, but is ready to fight for 25 minutes if he must.

In an interview with Super Lutas, Thiago claimed to be the in best shape of his life ever since his title fight against Jon Jones. Although Santos acknowledges how dangerous Hill can be, especially on the feet, the Brazilian still believes he is the more experienced and skilled fighter.
