Early career

Santos started his professional career in 2006. Until 2011, he fought mainly for local promotions in Northern Brazil.

Jungle Fight

Santos obtained two victories and one loss in the organization before a bantamweight title eliminator match against Luciano Aparecido on July 30, 2011 at Jungle Fight 30, in which he won via TKO in the very first round.[2]

Santos next faced John Lineker on October 22, 2011 at Jungle Fight 32 for the Jungle Fight bantamweight title. He lost via split decision.[3]

In 2012, Santos has amassed a total of six victories, including a victory over Leandro Higo,[5] and in 2013 he signed with the UFC.[6]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Santos made his promotional debut replacing an injured Marcos Vinicius against Iuri Alcântara on May 18, 2013 at UFC on FX: Belfort vs. Rockhold. He lost via TKO in the first round.[7]

Santos next moved down to flyweight and faced Ian McCall on August 3, 2013 at UFC 163. He lost via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28),[8] and the performance earned both participants Fight of the Night honors.[9]
