Daniel 'Willycat' Santos is a 31-year-old Brazilian featherweight nicknamed for an unusually catlike sprawl in training. Seven of his 14 career wins have come by knockout, and he rebounded from a second-round TKO loss to Dooho Choi in May 2026 with the step up to this bout against Bolaji Oki, who is moving up from lightweight.
