Santos (21-6 MMA, 13-5 UFC) improved to 3-0 since he moved up to the weight class five months ago when he scored a third-round TKO of Blachowicz (23-8 MMA, 6-5 UFC) in the headlining contest, which took place at O2 arena in Prague. With the win, the Brazilian believes he is next in line for the title.

The ref gave Blachowicz every chance to recover but he was not having it. Covered up and showed that he was done fighting. What a shot from Santos that had to be! #UFCPrague
