More Fantasy News
Fighting heavy opponent
Zaleski dos Santos will face off against a heavy Chidi Njokuani at UFC Vegas 104 this weekend, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Zaleski dos Santos will likely receive a portion of Chidi Njokuani's fight purse after he came in 1.25 pounds over the Welterweight limit for this weekend's bout. The 38-year-old Brazilian fighter is 11-4-1 during his time with the UFC.

Next bout scheduled
Zaleski dos Santos will take on Chidi Njokuani in a welterweight bout at UFC Vegas 104 on March 15, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Zaleski dos Santos' next chance to stack victories will come against Njokuani, who is also coming off a win. The welterweight is a significantly more experienced UFC fighter, as he boasts an 11-4-1 record in the promotion while Njokuani sits at 4-3. However, he gives up four inches of height and seven inches of reach to the younger fighter, which could certainly keep this one interesting.

Cruises as massive favorite
Zaleski dos Santos defeated Zach Scroggin via TKO (punches) at 1:15 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Set to turn 38 years of age in a handful of days, Zaleski dos Santos had less than nothing to gain by agreeing to face a debuting fighter on just days' notice, but he did, and went out and dominated as a -900 favorite. The Brazilian quickly cornered Scroggin just over a minute in and unloaded a few power shots which closed the show in an instant. Zaleski dos Santos has quietly racked up a 4-1-1 record in his past six fights dating back to October 2021. He has a unanimous decision win over Benoit Saint-Denis during that stretch. Expect ZDS to try to get back in the octagon as soon as possible considering how little damage he absorbed this evening.

Gets new opponent
Zaleski will no longer face Nicolas Dalby and will instead take on Zach Scroggin in a welterweight bout at a UFC event on Nov. 9, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Zaleski will get a new opponent on short notice, and it's one versus whom he should be heavily favored. Scroggin has never fought in a UFC bout before, while Zaleski holds a career record of 10-4-1 in the promotion. Most recently, Zaleski lost via unanimous decision against Randy Brown back in June.

Indefinite medical suspension
Zaleski has been given an indefinite medical suspension by the New Jersey State Athletic Board following Saturday's UFC 302 loss to Randy Brown, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Zaleski needs to be cleared by an ophthalmologist before he can fight again, which suggests an eye/orbital bone injury. That's not too surprising considering 50 of Brown's 67 significant strikes landed were to the head of Zaleski dos Santos. It may end up pushing his next fight to the end of 2024 or later.
