Finally scheduled for fight
Santos (undisclosed) is scheduled to compete against fellow bantamweight Said Nurmagomedov in Abu Dhabi at UFC 308 on Oct. 26, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Santos' next opponent had been scheduled for UFC Saudi Arabia before a problem forced him to withdraw from that event. Santos has had much more inactivity though, as he had not been scheduled for nearly a year after withdrawing from fighting Daniel Marcos in 2023.

Will fight Marcos
Santos will take on Daniel Marcos at UFC Sao Paulo on Nov. 4, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Santos is 2-1 in the UFC, and he was in total control of his last win against Johnny Munoz in which he finished with a 134-64 edge in strikes landed. Marcos will enter the fight with a 2-0 record, with his most recent bout being a split decision win against Davey Grant in uninspiring fashion.

Leans on grappling in win
Santos defeated Johnny Munoz via unanimous decision (29-27, 29-27, 29-27) at UFC on ESPN 46 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a dominant performance from Santos. He finished the fight with a 134-64 edge in total strikes landed. He also connected on 3-of-4 takedowns attempts and added 10:47 worth of control time for good measure. The lone blemish on Santos' evening was a (correct) Round 3 point deduction from referee Herb Dean for a pair of low blows. Other than that, it was smooth sailing. The 28-year-old Brazilian has now strung together back-to-back impressive performances on the heels of a unanimous decision defeat to Julio Arce in his UFC debut back in April 2022.
