The Ultimate Fighter Winner Spotlight | Mairon Santos
Since the first season back in 2005, The Ultimate Fighter has produced loads of talent for the UFC. That proved to be true once against last season during Team Grasso vs Team Shevchenko as featherweights and middleweights fought for their opportunity to earn a UFC contract.
The finale last August saw Brazil’s Mairon Santos face Australia’s Kaan Ofli, with Santos coming out victorious after an impressive second-round knockout. Ofli did end up earning a UFC contract and made his UFC debut last month in Saudi Arabia, where he lost a unanimous decision to Muhammad Naimov.
