The Read
Style, strengths, and defining traits.
Santos is a well-rounded Brazilian middleweight out of American Top Team who has finished seven of his eleven wins — four by submission and three by knockout — over a decade-long career that began on Brazil's regional circuit in 2015.
His UFC tenure has been a mixed 1-2: a decision loss to Osman Diaz in his Octagon debut, a rebound unanimous-decision win over Danny Barlow, and a third-round rear-naked-choke loss to the then-unbeaten Baisangur Susurkaev at UFC 328.
