LAS VEGAS – Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos is eager to celebrate his 10th year as a UFC fights with a big win over Chidi Njokuani’s in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 254 co-headliner.
After making his promotional debut in May 2015, dos Santos (25-8-1 MMA, 11-4-1 UFC) has put together a solid tenure inside the octagon. He said he is as motivated as ever, and is locked in to take out Njokuani (24-10 MMA, 4-3 UFC) in the welterweight matchup at UFC Apex (ESPN+).
He’s a striker, he’s a banger like me and he enjoys to fight,” dos Santos told MMA Junkie and other reporters through an interpreter at Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 254 media day. “But I see a lot of good opportunities. He’s also a black belt so if it goes that way, we’re good, too.
