Losing three in a row simply wasn’t an option for Thiago Santos, who ended his funk and earned a trip back to the winner’s circle with a spectacular technical knockout victory over Jack Marshman on the undercard of UFC Fight Night 105 earlier tonight (Sun., Feb. 19, 2017) inside Soctiabank Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
In round two, the Brazilian bomber unleashed a devastating spinning wheel kick that dropped Marshman to the canvas, following up the highlight reel move with a few strikes to put an end to the bout. But, it wasn’t before Thiago survived an early scare.
