As previously mentioned, of the stellar 10-fight RIZIN 11 card, one fight is arguably better than all the rest. That is, of course, a lightweight banger between Daron Cruickshank and the relatively unknown Tom Santos.
Brazil’s Tom Santos is not a recognizable name in the MMA world, even compared to the likes of Daron Cruickshank. Because of this, it seems as though this fight is being completely overlooked. And that is a shame.
His 9-5 record may not stand out on paper, but if you look deeper and watch his fights you will see why a guy like him opposite Cruickshank could spell trouble for the American.
