Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos Wants Fights with Gunnar Nelson, Neil Magny After Latest Win

After beating Abubakar
Nurmagomedov by split decision last Saturday at
UFC on ESPN 46 in Las Vegas, Elizeu
Zaleski dos Santos disappointed his fans by not calling out a
future opponent in his Octagon interview.

He didn’t make the same mistake when speaking to Evelyn Rodrigues
for UFC Fight Pass Brazil shortly thereafter.

“I already have two names I want to face, Gunnar
Nelson and Neil Magny,
so I’m ready,” he said. “As soon as the UFC decides, you can call
me, and I’ll be ready for the fight.”

The Brazilian veteran also revealed that he never stopped training
during the time he was suspended by USADA for a doping
violation.

“I took advantage of this period to evolve and correct mistakes
using the excellent training material we have at CM System,” he
said.

While his first victory in more than a year and a half made him
happy, dos Santos is more excited for the significant life event
that is on the horizon.

“I’m anxious. My first daughter will be born [June 10],” said dos
Santos, who already has a son, Joaquim with his wife, Tatiane. “The
happiness of being able to get back on top in the best MMA
promotion in the world is indescribable and gives my family a
better future doing what I love most in life, which is
fighting.”
