Video: Watch top contender Gegard Mousasi's first-found finish of Thiago Santos at UFC 200

Gegard Mousasi is one of the most experienced competitors in the sport today, but his sights are currently set on the UFC middleweight title. With a four-fight winning streak under his belt, Mousasi is on the right path – as Brazilian slugger Thiago Santos can attest.

Mousasi (41-6-2 MMA, 8-3 UFC) meets former champion Chris Weidman (13-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) in the co-main event of next month’s UFC 210 event, which takes place at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y. The night’s main card airs on pay-per-view following preliminary bouts on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

It’s a key matchup for the entire 185-pound division. Weidman is currently No. 5 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA middleweight rankings, while Mousasi is just behind at No. 7.

Ahead of that contest, check out Mousasi at his finest – in this case earning a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus for a first-round finish of Santos at this past July’s UFC 200 event in Las Vegas.
