UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Denis Goltsov had no issues handling Thiago Santos . Goltsov (34-8) needed less than three minutes to TKO Santos (22-13-1) in their heavyweight bout Thursday at 2024 PFL 4 from Mohegan Sun. Santos stepped in on short to replace Sergey Bilostenniy in what was his heavyweight debut. “He didn’t really feel that strong,” Goltsov told MMA Junkie and other reporters through an interpreter in the post-fight scrum. “Once I was like a backpack on him, and I was controlling him, I was able to really mount him and control him and be on top.
