Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Thiago ‘Marreta’ Santos after UFC on ESPN+ 3?

After every event, fans wonder whom the winners will be matched up with next.

And with another night of UFC action in the rearview mirror, it’s time to look forward, put on a pair of Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard’s shoes, and play UFC matchmaker for UFC on ESPN+ 3’s main event winner.

Thiago “Marreta” Santos (21-6 MMA, 13-5 UFC) defeated Jan Blachowicz (23-8 MMA, 6-5 UFC) by third-round TKO in Saturday’s headliner, which took place at O2 arena in Prague, and streamed on ESPN+.

With the win, Santos improved to 3-0 since he moved up to light heavyweight and put himself in contention to fight for the title sooner than later.

Watch the video above as MMAjunkie senior reporter Mike Bohn discusses Santos’ future coming out of UFC on ESPN+ 3.
