Thiago Santos wants to make the most out of his short notice bout against Gegard Mousasi, at UFC 200. The TUF Brazil 2 veteran, who is stepping in for Derek Brunson after Brunson’s recent eye problems, told Portal do Vale Tudo he won’t allow Mousasi to feel comfortable in the Octagon.
“Mousasi is a very strategic fighter. He likes to fight at his own pace and dictate the fight. My intention is to not let that happen and impose my gameplan all the time. Things are happening on the right time for me. I was hoping for a Top 10 opponent and the opportunity presented itself.
