TORONTO – With UFC 231 in the books, Thiago “Marreta” Santos knows his new home is at light heavyweight. Santos (20-6 MMA, 12-5 UFC) took out Jimi Manuwa (17-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC) with a second-round knockout to open the main card Saturday night at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. The fight was of critical importance for Santos, who had won five of six fights at middleweight before moving up to 205 pounds earlier this year. Heading into UFC 231, “Marreta” said his result against Manuwa would help determine if he was going to stay at light heavyweight or move back to middleweight.
