Fight fans couldn't help but notice the resemblance between Santos and former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira. In the closing fight of the preliminary card of UFC Vegas 61, Santos displayed his determination to grit out a second-round knockout victory in the 140-pound catchweight fight. The Brazilian was in deep trouble in the first round, having been dropped multiple times. He rallied in the second round to snatch victory in a beautiful finishing sequence that culminated with digging hooks to the body and a vicious knee. UFC Europe@UFCEuropeHOW ABOUT THAT CHUTE BOXE?! ?

The bantamweight made his UFC debut at UFC 273 against Julio Arce on the preliminary card. Ahead of the fight, Santos said in an interview with MMA Fighting that he drew inspiration from teammate Charles Oliveira's journey in the UFC: “[The UFC championship] is the item we all dream about. Every fighter, every athlete. To have the belt [when Oliveira was the UFC lightweight champion] and be able to touch it, put it on your shoulders and know that your friend and teammate made it, it motivates you even more. Like, you know it’s possible. With determination, focus and discipline, you can get there, too. It gives me strength to continue believing."
