Fighting Modafferi at UFC 266
Santos will take on Roxanne Modafferi in a flyweight bout at UFC 266 on Sept. 25, Marcel Dorff of MMADNA reports.
ANALYSIS
Santo withdrew at the beginning of August from her schedule bout on Sept. 4 against Mandy Bohm after the UFC moved the card from London to Las Vegas due to visa issues. UFC 266 is expected to take place in Las Vegas as well, so it appears that she has sorted out whatever visa issues she had prior. Santos has yet to fight in 2021, but won both of her bouts in 2020.

ANALYSIS
Due to visa issues, Santos won't be able to fight in the United States, so she'll bow out of the bout with the hope of finding a new opponent later in 2021 at another overseas event. Ariane Lipski has agreed to step in as a replacement for Santos on Sept. 4.

Needs new opponent
Santos needs a new opponent for May 8 after Roxanne Modafferi suffered a meniscus tear, Eric Kowal of MyMMANews.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Santos has started her UFC career at a solid 3-1-0 pace, but she'll now need a new opponent in order to fight May 8. It's possible that the UFC could reschedule the flyweight bout in question, but that would have to wait until Modafferi has fully recovered from her meniscus surgery, which could take some time.
