Check out the full fight video highlights of Thiago Santos stopping Jan Blachowicz in the UFC Prague main event.
The UFC Prague main event just witnessed the promotion’s #6 ranked light heavyweight Thiago Santos take out the #4 ranked Jan Blachowicz with strikes in the third round.
The first and second round was a bit slow, with each man landing here and there, but not many wowing moments. The final round came and Blachowicz pressed the action, but paid a dear price for it. Santos clipped his opponent with a right-left punching combination that sent Blachowicz crashing to the canvas. Santos went right in for the kill, landing a barrage of hammerfists. The referee gave Blachowicz every opportunity to improve his position, but Santos was not letting up. Santos has now finished all three of his UFC light heavyweight opponents.
