Fight set for September
Santos will take on DooHo Choi at UFC Perth on Sept. 27, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
The Brazilian bantamweight will look to stay hot after tacking on his win streak to three with a unanimous decision victory over Jeong Yeong Lee back in May.

Wins in return from long layoff
Santos defeated Jeong Yeong Lee via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC 315 on Saturday in Montreal.
ANALYSIS
Santos was due to face Davey Grant in Vegas last month before being forced to withdraw due to a "medical issue." He stepped in here against Lee and got progressively stronger after a lousy start. Santos failed on all five of his Round 1 takedown attempts, but he stuck with the game plan. Aided by his exhausted opponent, the Brazilian was able to racked up six takedowns and 4:59 worth of control time in the final two rounds alone, guaranteeing the decision. Santos has fought just three times since October 2022, but he's won each of them.

Santos will take on Davey Grant in a bantamweight bout at UFC Vegas 105 on April 5, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Santos was initially slated to compete in UFC 308 against Said Nurmagomedov, but he withdrew for an unknown reason. That was the second straight fight he cancelled, and he'll look to avoid that fight against Grant in what should be an intriguing matchup. Grant, nine years Santos' senior, has an inch of height and two inches of reach on him. Santos will look to push his UFC record to 3-1 and log his third straight victory in the promotion.
