Not many fighters have gone unbeaten for so long inside the octagon, but Leonardo Santos doesn’t feel he gets the love he deserves from the UFC.
Santos became The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2 welterweight winner in 2013, racking up a 6-0-1 record since. In a career often plagued by injuries, the jiu-jitsu ace scored gigantic stoppages over the likes of Kevin Lee and Anthony Rocco Martin in the UFC. Still, he awaits a retribution that never seems to come.
“I just want [the UFC] to put me in the top 10,” Santos said in an interview with MMA Fighting.
