Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Santos faced Danilo Pereira on August 29, 2009, at Win Fight & Entertainment 4 for the WFE Middleweight Championship, winning via unanimous decision.[4]

Bellator MMA

Undefeated at 12–0, Santos made his Bellator debut against Giva Santana at Bellator 61 on March 16, 2012. Though a considerable underdog coming into the fight,[5] Santos would win the fight via unanimous decision, remaining undefeated in the process.[6]

He was then expected to face Brian Rogers on April 20, 2012 at Bellator 66, however Santos was forced out of the bout due to a shoulder injury.[7]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Little over a year after his win over Giva Santana, Santos was signed by the UFC and made his debut against fellow newcomer Krzysztof Jotko on December 7, 2013, at UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Bigfoot.[8] Santos lost the fight via unanimous decision.[9]

Santos faced Chris Camozzi at UFC 175 on July 5, 2014.[10] He won the fight by split decision.

Santos next faced Elias Theodorou on October 4, 2014 at UFC Fight Night: MacDonald vs. Saffiedine.[11] He lost the fight via unanimous decision and was subsequently released from the promotion.

World Series of Fighting

On December 31, 2016, Santos made his World Series of Fighting debut at WSOF 34 against undefeated Vagab Vagabov.[12] He won the fight via split decision.

On July 29, 2017 Bruno Santos defeated Rex Harris in a middleweight bout at “PFL: Everett,” the second event for the newly formed Professional Fighters League bringing his professional MMA record to 16-2.
