This is the UFC Vegas 59 live blog for Thiago Santos vs. Jamahal Hill, the light heavyweight main event on Saturday at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Santos, the No. 12 ranked light heavyweight in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, is at a crossroad in his career at 205 pounds. He has lost just one fight in his last five, which includes a win over Jan Blachowicz who is now the ex-champ. In his previous performance, he took on ranked light-heavy Magomed Ankalaev and was outpointed in the headliner of UFC Vegas 50.
Hill is the No. 14 ranked fighter, is close to where Santos was several years ago, having won two straight with a 5-1 (1 NC) record in his UFC career thus far. The Contender Series’ most recent victories were by first-round knockout against top-tier talents Jimmy Crute and Johnny Walker.
