Set for UFC Vegas 111 Santos will take on Daria Zhelezniakova in a bantamweight matchup at UFC Vegas 111 on Nov. 8, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports. Impact Santos has posted a solid 4-1 record in the UFC with three finishes, most recently submitting Tainara Lisboa in May to rebound from her only loss. She now draws Zhelezniakova, who is 2-1 in the UFC and coming off a unanimous decision victory over Melissa Mullins in June. She'll give up slight height and reach advantages to Zhelezniakova, who also has superior striking marks (albeit over a smaller sample size). Santos also has the better wrestling stats, most notable takedown average, as she has accumulated 1.91 takedowns per 15 minutes of fight time and registered one or more in each of her last four bouts.
