HALIFAX – Thiago Santos found himself in a firefight with the heavy-hitting Jack Marshman in the first round, so he reached for a more powerful weapon in the second. A spinning heel kick from Santos (14-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC) put Marshman (21-6 MMA, 1-1 UFC) on the floor, and some follow-up punches on the mat were enough to convince referee Brad Jardine to call it off at the 2:21 mark of Round 2. “In the first-round I saw that every time I would push him, he would come back with a straight hand, which gave me the ability to judge the distance to dictate the spin kick,” Santos said.
