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.

Santos (undisclosed) is scheduled to compete against fellow bantamweight Said Nurmagomedov in Abu Dhabi at UFC 308 on Oct. 26, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Santos' next opponent had been scheduled for UFC Saudi Arabia before a problem forced him to withdraw from that event. Santos has had much more inactivity though, as he had not been scheduled for nearly a year after withdrawing from fighting Daniel Marcos in 2023.

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.
