Djorden Santos

Overview

Djorden Santos lands plenty and absorbs plenty, and the UFC results have followed that pattern: a 1-3 record, two straight losses, and not a single UFC finish. The Brazilian middleweight, nicknamed "Shakur," fights out of American Top Team and sits at 11-4-0 across all promotions. His UFC record is 1-3.

His one UFC win came on the scorecards, and so did one of his losses. The other two went the other way, by submission and by knockout.

Four fights in, the trend is unkind.

UFC Career

Santos reached the UFC after a unanimous decision over Will Currie on Dana White's Contender Series, which is a professional fight but not part of his UFC record. He debuted at UFC 313 against Ozzy Diaz and lost a unanimous decision over three rounds.

He answered with his only UFC win, a unanimous decision over Danny Barlow at UFC Fight Night: de Ridder vs Allen in October 2025. Then the run turned. Baisangur Susurkaev submitted him at 4:12 of the third round at UFC 328. At Noche UFC: Silva vs. Delgado, Yousri Belgaroui stopped him by KO/TKO at 4:25 of the first.

It's a small sample, but he carries a two-fight losing streak into his next bout.

Fighting Style

Djorden Santos is a busy striker who throws and lands at a high rate. He is also easy to hit, and his defense leaks more than most. His accuracy is middling, so the volume carries his offense more than precision does.

On the ground, he is tough to take down, which makes his submission loss stand out. He rarely shoots for takedowns himself and seldom hunts for submissions, so he leaves the grappling work to opponents.

His UFC record is 1-3, and his lone win came by decision. He has no UFC finishes. The losses have come by decision, submission and KO/TKO.
