Remains perfect in UFC
Santos defeated Mariya Agapova via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:27 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Denver.
ANALYSIS
Santos looked strong in her last fight, a unanimous decision win over Stephanie Egger last December, but that performance comes with an asterisk because she missed weight. She had no issues with the scale this time around and dominated Agapova for as long as the brief bout lasted. Santos landed a few heavy shots early on before connecting with a nice judo throw. She then threatened with an arm-triangle before transitioning to a rear-naked choke which put Agapova away for good. Still just 24 years of age, Santos is now a perfect 3-0 in the UFC. She deserves a bit better opponent her next time out.

Gets new fight
Santos is slated to take on Mariya Agapova at a UFC event on July 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Santos is riding a two-fight winning streak since debuting with the company, including wins over Jiliana Miller via TKO and Stephanie Egger via unanimous decision. However, her most recent bout would have looked better had she not missed weight by three pounds the day prior. Her next opponent, Agapova, is 2-3 in the company and looking to bounce back from a two-fight losing streak.

Takes decision after weight miss
Santos defeated Stephanie Egger via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's a win that would have looked a whole lot better had Santos not missed weight by three pounds Friday morning. Neither woman landed much in terms of damaging strikes, with Santos' main claim to victory being the fact she racked up a whopping 7:44 worth of control time. Most of that was simply her pinning Egger up along the cage, which drained the clock and eliminated her opponent's ability to mount a comeback. The main concern for Santos at this point is getting her weight cut under control. Three pounds is a big miss. She needs to get that cleaned up before her next bout.

Booked for UFC Vegas 83
Santos will fight Stephanie Egger at UFC Vegas 83 on Dec. 9, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
After making quick work of Juliana Miller in her UFC debut, Santos will now face a more-experienced opponent. Egger has lost two of her last three fights, so momentum will be on Santos' side in December.

Quick win in UFC debut
Santos defeated Juliana Miller via TKO (punches) at 3:41 of Round 1 at UFC on ESPN 51 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The level of competition Santos was going up against in her company debut has to be taken into consideration, but she showed well after a slow start. The Brazilian ate a few early shots from Miller before getting her jab going. One in particular stunned her opponent, and Santos proceeded to keep firing power blows until Miller folded. It was the first knockout win of the Brazilian's brief seven-fight professional career. Santos won't be 24 years of age until next April.
