UFC Fight Night: Santos Vs. Overview of the hill
Santos (23-10) has headlined in five of his past six appearances, including his last two, but his time will be over if he comes up short again on Saturday.
The 38-year-old Brazilian has been involved in a number of memorable fights and has a long list of notable victories, including a knockout over former champion John Blachocz.
He also pushed Jones to the wire in their title fight at UFC 239 before a split decision. He suffered a knee injury in the competition that required multiple surgeries and a 16-month layoff from the game. Santos hasn’t looked the same since his comeback, with a weak decision against Johnnie Walker last October being his only win in four bouts.
In many ways, Santos will face a younger version of himself in Hill (10-1-1), who has gone 4-1-1 in six UFC bouts. The 31-year-old Chicago native is likewise an explosive athlete with lethal power and a variety of tools.
Hill’s only UFC loss came to veteran Paul Craig in June of last year, but he responded with first-round knockouts of Jimmy Crott and Walker. Hill will likely move into the top-five ranking and title fight conversation with another impressive victory. You can see just who to pick at UFC Fight Night here..
