The middleweight has both impressive striking and grappling, which he has promised to showcase when he makes his ONE FC debut. Luis ?Sapo? Santos is a Brazilian mixed martial arts veteran.

He has defeated the best in Europe and has decided to come to Asia in search of new challenges. In his ONE FC debut, he became the first person to perform a successful takedown on current ONE FC Welterweight World Champion Ben Askren in mixed martial arts competition.
