Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos will get the step up in competition he’s been seeking when he meets Neil Magny at UFC Fight Night 151 in Rochester, N.Y.
Promotion officials announced the welterweight booking on Wednesday. UFC Rochester takes place at Blue Cross Arena on May 18 and is headlined by a 170-pound clash pitting Rafael dos Anjos against Kevin Lee. The card will stream in its entirety on ESPN+.
Dos Santos has quietly compiled a seven-fight winning streak in the UFC. Most recently, the 32-year-old Brazilian known as “Capoeira” tapped out Curtis Millender with a rear-naked choke at UFC Wichita on March 9.
