Santos banked a close three-round win over Miguel Firmino at Thunder Fight 33, taking a split decision in the last fight before his five-round title bout with Filipe Moitinho. The result mattered because it proved he could survive a tighter regional matchup on the cards and still keep the momentum needed for the championship opportunity that followed.

• The bout served as Santos' final outing before Thunder Fight 39.
• It pushed his record to 7-1 ahead of the vacant-title booking.

Santos nearly let the round expire before finishing Daniel Chicao with one second left in the second at X1 Kombat 4. That late stoppage was useful evidence of his persistence because he kept pressing until the final moment rather than letting a tiring fight drift to the scorecards.

Key moments

• Stopped Chicao at 4:59 of round two.
• The finish came with one second left in the second round.
• It was Santos' second victory of 2021.

Santos followed with another stoppage two weeks earlier at Sul Fluminense Fight Night 4, where Rodolfo Andrade de Oliveira could not continue after a second-round injury finish. It counts more as a maintenance win than a signature result, but it helped keep Santos active during the stretch that rebuilt his regional standing.

Key moments

• Won by second-round injury TKO at 1:40.
• The bout took place at Sul Fluminense Fight Night 4 in Brazil.
• It started the two-fight August 2021 stretch that ended with the Chicao stoppage.

Santos hit an early career setback in South Florida when Cristian Torres outpointed him over three rounds at Titan FC 52. The loss mattered because it dropped him to 3-1 and forced the next phase of his development to happen away from the fast-track prospect narrative he had carried into Titan.

Key moments

• Lost a unanimous decision over three rounds in Pembroke Pines.
• The fight came on the Titan FC 52 card in January 2019.
• It remains the earliest defeat on Santos' professional record.

Santos showed he could work through a longer fight before getting the finish by stopping Khristhian da Silva Oliveira in the third round at Samurai Fight 1.

Key moments

• Finished Oliveira by TKO at 1:52 of round three.
• The bout took place on the inaugural Samurai Fight card.
• It moved Santos to 3-0 before the Titan FC setback.

Santos needed only two minutes to submit Jeronimo Ribeiro de Oliveira with an arm-triangle choke at Zero 11 Fight. The win fit the early pattern of his record, where grappling finishes came quickly and helped establish him as more than a pure slugger before the knockout wins became more frequent.

Key moments

• Submitted Oliveira with an arm-triangle choke at exactly 2:00 of round one.
• The fight came at Zero 11 Fight in March 2017.
• It gave Santos his second straight professional victory.

Santos opened his pro account by taking Cristiano Bonis down and finishing with an arm-triangle choke in the first round at Federal Gladiators Combat 2.

Key moments

• Won his professional debut by arm-triangle choke at 2:18 of round one.
• The bout took place at Federal Gladiators Combat 2 in Brazil.
• It was the first of four submission wins on Santos' record.

Although it appears later in the record listing, Santos' Aspera 45 win over Eduardo Silva was another early-career regional finish, this time by second-round guillotine. It helped confirm the same early theme as the Bonis and Oliveira bouts: opponents who overextended against him were giving him quick submission opportunities.

Key moments

• Submitted Silva with a guillotine choke at 2:31 of round two.
• The fight took place on the Aspera Fighting Championship 45 card.
• It added a second different choke to Santos' early submission résumé.

Santos' earliest listed pro win came by first-round rear-naked choke against Bruno Fernandes at Full House Battle Home 9. In hindsight the bout matters mainly because it foreshadowed how much of his first wave of regional success would come from opportunistic grappling finishes rather than extended striking fights.

Key moments

• Finished Fernandes by rear-naked choke at 2:51 of round one.
• The contest was held at Full House Battle Home 9 in March 2015.
• It stands as one of the earliest recorded wins on Santos' résumé.
