Thiago Santos lived up to his nickname on Sunday.
After middleweight foe Jack Marshman gave him fits in the first round, "Marreta" (Portuguese for sledgehammer) cracked the Welshman with a spectacular spinning heel kick before finishing the job on the ground at the 2:21 mark of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night 105 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
What better way to get back in the win column that with a Knockout of the Year candidate?
