Ranking Thiago Santos' Best MMA Knockouts Ahead of UFC 239

Thiago Santos is a madman. A berserker. A true finisher. Santos is also the next challenger for Jon Jones' UFC light heavyweight champion this Saturday at UFC 239.

During his run inside the Octagon, Santos has finished 11 of his opponents by knockout. He has done so in two different divisions.

He has power that is a threat to anyone who steps inside the cage against him. Yes, that includes Jones—although landing those shots on Jones is a different story that will write itself on Saturday. If he can connect, he may well become the next light heavyweight champion of the world.
