Thiago Santos has been on an absolute tear in his past UFC fights. His waylaying performance last night against Jan Blachowicz may have very well brought him near title contention.
However, not everyone seems to be impressed by “Marreta’s” hot streak. Former middleweight kingpin Luke Rockhold has already made it clear that a move to light heavtweight is inevitable. And he now seems to be interested in a fight with Santos.
After Saturday’s event which took place at O2 arena in Prague and streamed on ESPN+, Rockhold called out Santos terming him as ‘easy money’.

Rockhold was linked to a rematch with Chris Weidman last November but was forced out due to an injury. That withdrawal promoted his decision to jump weight classes, and he apparently wants Santos.
