Gegard Mousasi V Thiago Santos: Dutch kick boxer Gegard Mousasi took on powerful Brazilian Thiago Santos in the second fight of the monumental UFC 200.

The first round started with both men cautious, Mousasi being aware of Santos' knockout power. Samoa tagged Mousasi with a good left hand as the Dutch man came rushing in. Mousasi was using his jab well to keep Santos at range, and began to tee off on the Brazilian really punishing the hard hitter. Mousasi then took his back and had him tight against the cage. Mousasi then landed a takedown and wound up in side control then found his way into half guard on his way into full mount. Santos then got it back to full guard but was dropped by the Dutch man on his way up and the #8 ranked middleweight ended the fight with a huge knockout.
