The Ultimate Fighter Season 32’s featherweight tournament has concluded, with Mairon Santos scoring a one-shot knockout over Kaan Ofli at UFC Vegas 96 on August 25.
UFC vs. PFL: What’s the Difference?
Santos’ defense throughout the first round was impeccable. Ofli surged out of the gates with looping hooks and thudding low kicks, but Santos kept an intelligent guard and started to chip away with counter strikes. This would pay off in round two, as a hurt Ofli tried storming Santos, who leaned back and returned fire with a whiffing right hand and a left hook that spun Ofli’s head on his shoulders.
See the finish below:
With this victory, Santos wins the TUF 32 featherweight tournament and secures himself a spot on the UFC roster with a relatively lucrative contract. He should also have the leverage necessary to have a decent-name opponent for his UFC debut. The 14-1 featherweight finisher is certainly one to watch going forward.
