Thiago Santos vs. Jamahal Hill to Headline UFC Fight Night Event on Aug. 6

A light heavyweight scrap pitting Thiago Santos against Jamahal Hill will headline the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s Aug. 6 event.

MMAjunkie.com was first to report the booking. The card doesn’t yet have a location or venue, and no other fights have been confirmed at this time.

A former middleweight who found his greatest success at 205 pounds, Santos enters the matchup with Hill having lost four of his last five promotional appearances. Most recently, “Marreta” dropped a five-round verdict to Magomed Ankalaev in the UFC Fight Night 203 main event.



The 30-year-old Hill has lost just once in six UFC bouts. The Dana White’s Contender Series alum rebounded from that setback at the hands of Paul Craig with back-to-back first-round KO wins against Jimmy Crute at UFC on ESPN 31 and against Johnny Walker at UFC Fight Night 201.
