GrapplingStriking
Santos is a Brazilian striker from Chute Boxe Diego Lima who fights with the gym's trademark forward pressure, mixing muay thai knees with surprising takedown numbers. He had won four straight in the UFC before Choi Doo-ho stopped him with punches in May 2026, his first career knockout loss. Half of his fourteen wins have come by KO or TKO.
