An exciting light heavyweight affair has been added to Week 1 of Dana White’s Contender Series on July 26, as Anton Turkalj takes on Acacio dos Santos. A source close to the situation relayed the information to Sherdog.com, though the promotion has not yet officially announced it.
A Brave Combat Federation alum, Turkalj (7-0) is one of the hottest prospects fighting out of the Scandinavian area at the moment. The 25-year-old fighter scored the fastest knockout BCF history when he demolished Konstantin Soldatov with a spinning backfist in just 13 seconds in April. “The Pleasure Man” has finished all seven of his opponents inside two rounds.
Dos Santos (14-4) introduces himself to the United States audience after an April 30 victory over Marcos Brigagao, avenging a technical knockout defeat he suffered in their first encounter at Standout Fighting Tournament 29 in September. The Guarulhos Fight Team standout enjoyed an eight-bout winning streak between Sept. 26, 2015 and Dec. 5, 2020. “Pequeno” has recorded six wins by knockout and eight via decision.
Dana White’s Contender Series will kick off its 2022 campaign at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. In addition to Turkalj-dos Santos, the card also features a middleweight clash pitting Osman Diaz against Joseph Pyfer and a 125-pound affair between Alessandro Costa and Andres Luna.
