Dooho Choi vs. Daniel Santos UFC Fight Night 276 preview
Choi (16-4-1 MMA, 5-3-1 UFC) was last seen at UFC 310 in December 2024, where he finished Nate Landwehr in the third round. He's won his last two fights, with a second-round stoppage of Bill Algeo coming a few months prior.
Santos (13-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) will look to make it five in a row. His last fight was a second-round stoppage of Joo Sang You at UFC 320 in October 2025.
Dooho Choi vs. Daniel Santos UFC Fight Night 276 expert pick, prediction
The co-main event for UFC Fight Night 276 features potential fireworks at featherweight between Doo Ho Choi and Daniel Santos.
Choi, who is a longtime hardcore fan-favorite due to his action-fighting sensibilities, has quietly strung together two wins after years of inactivity and injuries. That said, Choi did have to delay this initial booking due to a knee injury, so I'll be curious to see how healthy the Korean is for this fight.
On the other side is Santos, who is your prototypical Chute Boxe fighter who doesn't know how to say no to an exchange.
Despite fighting a non-stop slew of Koreans in the octagon, Santos is a former flyweight whose biggest enemy under the UFC banner has been the scale. Luckily for Santos, his durability and power appear to translate at 145 pounds.
Still, Santos hasn't exactly been the most dependable fighter from a fight I.Q. or health perspective either, so forecasting anything other than this being the Fight of the Night is tricky.
My heart will be hoping for Choi to show out, but I'll semi-reluctantly pick Santos to pull away down the stretch and possibly get a finish late.
