FORTALEZA, BRAZIL – Leonardo Santos has come a long way since a loss to Takanori Gomi in his MMA debut 11 years ago. On Saturday, Santos became the latest winner of Brazil’s version of “The Ultimate Fighter” – at 33 years old – when he submitted William Macario with a second-round arm-triangle choke. The welterweight bout was the co-main event of today’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 event at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. It aired on FUEL TV following prelims on Facebook. Santos, a teammate at Nova Uniao of UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo, helped set a UFC record with the submission – it was the seventh on the card. After the win, Santos jumped into the crowd to find Aldo, who was moved to tears by his friend and teammate’s victory
