In a grueling battle, Jamahal Hill managed to handle his opponent’s aggressive wrestling-oriented strategy to score a late TKO win at UFC Vegas 59. After defending most of Thiago Santos’ takedowns attempts, ‘Sweet Dreams’ hurt and finished the Brazilian in the fourth round of the fight. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the main event.
