Dangerous striker Santos, a knockout artist and former title challenger with 15 KOs is set to return to the Octagon five months after his decision loss to Magomed Ankalaev.
Santos, who holds a 13-8 record in UFC, has impressive victories over former UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz, Anthony Smith, and Jack Hermansson. Santos is now aiming to deliver another signature finish against Hill and make his way back into the title picture.
Rising star Hill, on the other hand, looks to continue his climb up the 205-pound ladder with another explosive knockout win. The Dana White's Contender Series signee has delivered stellar finishes against Johnny Walker, Jimmy Crute and Ovince Saint Preux in his short time spent in the Octagon.
Ready to make a statement against a true veteran of the sport, Hill is now determined to take Santos' spot in the rankings and prove that a new title challenger is on the horizon.
