February 8, 2025 10:11 pm ET
When UFC 312 needed a wakeup call, Gabriel Santos dialed in a slick submission Saturday in Sydney – much to this dismay of the Australian faithful in attendance.
In the featured prelim at Qudos Bank Arena, Santos (12-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) finished home country featherweight Jack Jenkins with a slick rear-naked choke at 2:06 of Round 2.
The bout was entertaining for as long as it lasted. Jenkins (13-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) stunned Santos with a head kick in Round 1, but nearly got stuck in a triangle choke seconds later. In Round 2, it was Santos who delivered a knockdown blow. The Brazilian fighter then worked his way to the back and secured the choke (and the victory).
With the victory, Santos extends his winning streak to two....
