For many fighters, the amount of activity within a given calendar year is often used by promotions as a measuring stick when they are determining the future steps of success for a given athlete. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet a blender of blitzing blizzards ready to concoct all of the icy ingredients into one cohesive flavor of frostiness at middleweight for Cage Fury Fighting Championships. A professional mixed martial artist since May 2026 and representing Teixeira MMA & Fitness under Brazilian UFC veteran Glover Teixeira, Johnny Santos touts a 2-0 record consisting of one submission and one decision. Santos has spent his entire career as a professional MMA fighter with Cage Fury Fighting Championships and is 2-0 under their banner with one finish under his belt through two appearances with the organization. His whole journey has stayed in the United States in Virginia and Pennsylvania respectively. Santos’s one and only decision win has resulted in a unanimous verdict. The lone finish of his arc inside the professional ranks has been within two rounds with a time of three minutes and 50 seconds.
In his professional MMA debut and promotional debut under the Cage Fury Fighting Championships banner at CFFC 154 The Thrill on the Hill, he faced Jordan Baskerville and went on to defeat him via unanimous decision to earn his first decision victory as a professional. Then in the opening main card contest of CFFC 160, Santos submitted Lucas Cortes via rear-naked choke in the second round to score the first submission win of his professional career and back-to-back victories under the Cage Fury Fighting Championships banner. He also picked up consecutive wins to begin his overall story as a professional mixed martial artist in the process. At 2-0 whether home or away, Santos’s savage instincts always come to slay rather than improvise play with little expectation of starting pay!
