Mairon Santos | When Dreams Come True
Mairon Santos is just beginning his road to a UFC championship, but in January, he already got his most important title: Dad.
“It's a blessing,” said Santos, who welcomed his son Ayron into the world with his wife Yasmim as the best New Year’s gift. That means a lot of sleepless nights, diaper changes, and a whole new world. It’s a good thing, but not exactly ideal when preparing for a fight. But Santos, who faces Francis Marshall on Saturday, has been handling it all like a champ.

“Actually, it's easier than I thought because I'm so happy,” he said. “Having him is a blessing and I always dreamed about this. So, for me, nothing changed.”
