Second UFC fight scheduled
Zha will take on Gabriel Santos in a featherweight bout at UFC Vegas 97 on Sept. 7th, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Zha is looking for his first win in the UFC. He dropped his debut in the promotion on a razor-thin split decision to Jeong Yeong Lee. Since then, the fighter has won three straight bouts in the Road to UFC. His opponent Santos, meanwhile, will be desperate for a victory as he sits at 0-2-0 in the promotion.

Drops tight split decision in Vegas
Zha lost to Jeong Yeong Lee via split decision (28-29, 28-29, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's the rare fight in which either man earning the decision would have been an acceptable outcome. Zha's striking game was severely lacking, but he did land 5-of-21 takedown attempts, good for 8:19 worth of control time. Zha's main issue was the fact he did next to nothing with his positional advantage. Any fighter with eight-plus minutes of control time in a 15-minute bout should never lose a decision. We'll see if Zha gets another chance despite coming up short in this "Road to UFC" featherweight final.
