“I worked hard and I had a amazing training camp,” Santos wrote on social media. “I [left] everything there and still wasn't enough, no shame about that —just a bad night in the office. Congratulations to Hill. I will be back stronger and better. Thank you all.”

The 38-year-old Santos has fallen on hard times after giving Jon Jones a difficult test in a split-decision defeat at UFC 239 in July 2019. That fight resulted in Santos undergoing surgery on both knees, and he has lost four of five promotional appearances since then.
