With tourney title on line, Thiago Santos hoping for ground battle at Bellator 59

MMA pre-fight talk is often bland, even predictable. After all, in a sport where fractions of inches and seconds can mean the difference between winning and losing, why tip your hand and give opponents a potential advantage?

But in advance of Saturday's Bellator 59 event, heavyweight tournament finalist Thiago Santos is making no attempt to hide his strategy.

"I'm a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, and the ground is my world," Santos said. "I know if this fight with Eric Prindle goes to the ground, I'm going to have the advantage."
