extended his win streak to five fights with a third-round submission win over Thiago Santos in the main event of UFC Fight Night 182 from the Apex Facility in Las Vegas.
Marreta wasted no time in reminding Teixeira that his power is among the best in the light heavyweight division. He appeared to be in the hunt for an early stoppage as he threw a barrage of hooks in combination that had Teixeira in trouble early.
Santos made a miscalculation in his bid to end the fight early, though. He wound up on the ground with Teixeira while overcommitting to trying to end the bout.
