Strong showing in debut defeat
Santos lost to Lerone Murphy via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC 286 on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
Accepting this fight on just days notice for his UFC debut, Santos looked excellent and probably deserved a better fate. He did a terrific job of employing both his grappling and striking skills. Santos landed takedowns in each of the three rounds, connecting on 5-of-11 attempts in total. He was also able to absorb anything Murphy sent back his way without issue. If there's one knock on Santos' performance it's that he slowed considerably as the fight progressed, but that is likely the result of accepting this bout without a full training camp. Just 26 years of age, the Brazilian is definitely worth keeping an eye on as 2023 progresses.
