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.

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.
