He is able to land strikes with an accuracy of 47% and has a grappling accuracy of 40%. He delivers 4.44 significant strikes a minute and only absorbs 2.19. He’s  solid here, as he can deliver a decent amount before he gets hit.

Santos typically defends against takedowns at 68% and defends against significant strikes at 57%. He also has been able to average 0.83 takedowns and 0.10 submissions every 15 minutes of fight time.

Looking into his fighting resume, it shows that he has 18 wins by knockout, eight by submission, and five by decision. For first-round finishes, he has an impressive 19 total, with a combined effort of knockouts and submissions.

He strikes with an accuracy of 47% and has grappling accuracy of 38%. He delivers 3.74 significant strikes a minute and takes on 3.87. This is somewhat bad, but he has been able to come out ahead in fights when he loses the striking battle.

Free Betting Pick

You could not ask for a better matchup for these elite-level fighters. They both are highly ranked in the light heavyweight division, and they both have earned respect from the entire sport.

When looking at the UFC betting odds on paper, Santos has Teixeira beat on just about every average. This is also the same guy that just went to a decision with Jon Jones, and he is arguably one of the best pound-for-pound fighters.

Teixeira could take this fight if it stays standing, just for the fact that he is a solid striker. However, Santos is arguably just as dangerous.

For this one, you probably will see an organized fight without any wild swings. Look for Santos to go the distance again but come out ahead here.
