Thiago Santos doesn’t seem too happy with his performance in the main event of UFC Vegas 13.
“Marreta” was coming back to action after a 16-month layoff, which included surgeries in both knees after a close split decision defeat to then-champion Jon Jones, when he agreed to take on longtime veteran Glover Teixeira in a five-round clash on Nov. 7.
Santos rocked and dropped Teixeira early in the first round at the UFC APEX, but wasn’t able to stop his takedowns. “Marreta” was saved by the bell in the second stanza after Teixeira had him in a rear-naked choke, and once again rocked the fellow Brazilian in the third before ultimately tapping to a choke later in that round.
