Hill said this to ufc.com about his upcoming fight against Santos, I want the people to know who I am, I want people to be interested and wonder how good I am. I want people to see how truly great my mind is. This fight with Thiago Santos is going to be fireworks. ‘Marreta’ comes forward, he wants to be the hammer and he wants to put a pounding on you. But that’s what I want to do. ‘Sweet Dreams’ wants to get up in your face. I want action, I want intensity, and I want it non-stop. Let’s get in there. I want to get in close I want to get in that phone booth, and I want that action. I think that’s what it’s going to be. I always knew this fight was coming. I knew this fight was coming years ago. I’ve been waiting for this fight for years and I’ve been preparing for this fight for years. I’m going to make this happen. I’m going to go out there hands up, locked in, sharp, with all the knives I learned at Black Lion and I’m going to handle business. This is the next step. When I go in and put the exclamation point win on him like I expect 100% to do, I feel like next after that is another solid test, and then let the king get his crown.”

UFC Picks

I agree with the oddsmakers in that Hill should win this fight. I am not thrilled about laying almost 3-1 though. I think taking Hill to win by KO/TKO is worth a shot, as the price is much more reasonable at -150. I also think the rounds are worth a look. The price on the under 2.5 rounds is -160 and that would seem to present the best value if you believe the fight is going to end quickly.
