RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Thiago Santos has his hands full right now, as he prepares to fight light heavyweight king Jon Jones in the main event of UFC 239 in Las Vegas, NV, on July 6.
Yet, he won’t shy away from making big plans for after the fight.
A former middleweight who’s found success moving up to 205 pounds, finishing Eryk Anders, Jimi Manuwa and Jan Bu0142achowicz in a five-month span, “Marreta” doesn’t exclude a potential return to his original weight class after challenging Jones.
