"Mosquitinho". That's what they call Gabriel Santos, and is part of the UFC featherweight division's deep end, fighting out of Brazil — 14 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 3.8 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas.
Last time out he beat Jack Jenkins (Submission (Rear Naked Choke) R3) — the kind of result that keeps a career pointed in the right direction.
