According to MMA Junkie the UFC’s unnamed August 6 event, currently without a venue, has found its headliner. That outlet reports that light heavyweights Thiago Santos and Jamahal Hill have agreed to meet on that date for a five-round main event contest.
Santos moved up to light heavyweight back in 2018 and found immediate success, earning a UFC title fight against Jon Jones the following year. He lost a split decision to Jones and then lost back-to-back contests with Glover Teixeira and Aleksandar Rakic.
In 2021 Santos got his first win since 2019 with a unanimous decision victory over Johnny Walker in the main event of UFC Vegas 38.
