Overview
- Daniel Santos won a unanimous decision over Bolaji Oki at UFC 333 with identical 29-28 scorecards, a result officially announced after three rounds at Etihad Arena.
- The early prelim bout on Saturday combined steady pressure from Santos with Oki’s length and timing, producing repeated takedowns, scrambles, top control and heavy exchanges.
- Santos’s record improved to 15-3 with the victory while Oki fell to 10-5, underscoring that the move from lightweight to featherweight did not immediately reverse Oki’s recent skid.
- In the Octagon after the fight, Santos dedicated the win to his late teammate Allan Nascimento, calling him a brother and saying the memory motivated his performance.
- The close scorecards and competitive action suggest both fighters retain paths forward in the division and that attention should turn to how Santos builds on this rebound and how Oki adjusts after consecutive stoppage losses.
