"Nenhum". That's what they call Leonardo Santos, and is part of the UFC lightweight division's deep end, fighting out of Brazil — 26 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
A submission threat first and always — 9 taps forced in 18 wins. Every exchange on the mat carries a trap door.
The last fight went to Jared Gordon (Decision - Unanimous) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
He's 46 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
