Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos trained a lot of capoeira ahead of UFC 302, promises evolution in MMA game

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos’s fighting style has always stood out, but it seems like there might be another gear to it.

The flashy Brazilian welterweight returns this Saturday in the opening bout of UFC 302, which goes down at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Zaleski dos Santos (24-7-1 MMA, 10-3-1 UFC) takes on fellow veteran Brown (18-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC). Zaleski dos Santos has scored many impressive finishes in his UFC run, most notably a spinning wheel KO of Sean Strickland – who fights in the co-main event of the card.

Ahead of his return, Zaleski dos Santos promises to show evolution in his game with further help of his capoeira training.
