Thiago Santos Teases Move to 205, Fighting at UFC 230 in New York

Heavy-hitting Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight Thiago Santos is coming off a hard-fought unanimous decision victory over debutant Kevin Holland on Saturday night at UFC 227 in Los Angeles. Santos looked to have the better of his opponent early on before Holland kicked into gear landing some nice shots of his own. The win was a confidence boost for Santos’ title aspirations after a devastating knockout loss at the hands of David Branch in his last fight.

Santos spoke about his opponent Holland and revealed he’s considering moving up a division as a result of the difficult weight cut to 185 pounds.
