Daniel Santos credits Ian Garry after win, wants Dan Ige next
UFC 315 winner Daniel Santos spoke to MMA Junkie and reporters post-fight after his unanimous decision victory over Jeong Yeong Lee in Montreal.
MONTREAL – Daniel Santos met the media Saturday after his win over Jeong Yeong Lee at UFC 315.
Santos (12-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC), who was fighting for the first time in nearly two years after a series of health-related cancellations, swept the scorecards on Lee (11-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) for his third straight win.
Afterward, he said having UFC welterweight contender Ian Machado Garry in his corner played a difference in the fight.
"Ian's energy, his intelligence, his fight IQ – we sat down and watched my opponent's fights for five minutes and he literally mapped everything out," Santos said at his post-fight news conference. "I owe a lot of this victory to him – and the entire team. But man – (Garry) is something else."
Garry was in Montreal as a backup fighter for the welterweight title fight in the main event.

UFC 316 video: 'Zombie Jr.' scores ultra-violent faceplant knockout of Jeka Saragih
UFC 316 video: 'Zombie Jr.' scores ultra-violent faceplant knockout of Jeka Saragih NEWARK, N.J. – "Zombie Jr." has arrived. As JooSang Yoo walked to the cage, "Zombie" by The Cranberries echoed throughout Prudential Center. It was a bold walkout song choice, considering its ties to the "Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung. By the time Yoo (9-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) exited the UFC 316 cage, however, he proved he's perhaps worthy of maintaining the "Zombie" lineage. In the span of 28 seconds, Yoo began and concluded his promotional debut as he brutally knocked out Indonesian star Jeka Saragih with a clean counter left hook. Saragih (14-5 MMA, 1-3 UFC) tipped over, face-first into the canvas, before Yoo blasted him with a follow-up punch. Despite the frightening nature of the knockout, Saragih left the cage with assistance of his corner and a medical professional. Yoo, 31, was signed on a recent episode of "Dana White: Lookin' for a Fight," when he impressed the UFC CEO with a win for Jung's ZFN promotion, based in South Korea. The knockout was his fourth as a pro. Saragih, 30, has now lost back-to-back fights early in the first round. Up-to-the-minute UFC 316 results:

Ngannou responds to Jones' call for a 'super-fight'
Francis Ngannou has an overall MMA record of 18-3 with 13 knockouts [Getty Images] Francis Ngannou has said he wants to fight UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones, two years after leaving the MMA promotion for the Professional Fighters League (PFL). Ngannou, 38, has mostly boxed since exiting the UFC, but has competed once in the PFL since signing with them in 2023. Advertisement After Ngannou's coach mooted a return to the UFC, Jones called for a "super-fight", to which the Cameroonian has now responded to. "You take care of the UFC, I'll take care of the PFL, and we'll finally find out who's the king of the heavyweight," Ngannou said on social media. Ngannou is under contract with the PFL while Jones, 37, has recently suggested he is retired and won't fight interim UFC champion Tom Aspinall. Ngannou's departure from the UFC was an ugly one, with Dana White saying in the aftermath he would never welcome Ngannou back. "It's over, that's over. He'll never be in the UFC again," White said in 2023. Advertisement Ngannou's coach Eric Nicksick sparked feverish speculation this month Ngannou wants to return to the UFC when he suggested that the best competition for his fighter was in the promotion. Jones, who has been involved in a social media back and forth with Aspinall for weeks, quickly responded to Nicksick's comments. "I'm hearing Francis Ngannou is still interested, now we're talking," Jones said. "That's a real super-fight. A clash of champions, not just hype. He held the UFC belt, I've defended mine for over a decade. Two kings from different roads. "Not just one legend facing a mouth that's hot right now, but two real legacies colliding." Advertisement The UFC have traditionally refused to do co-promotional events with rival MMA outfits. But PFL chief Donn Davis also responded to Ngannou's call-out, suggesting a "winner-takes-all" agreement which would see the triumphant heavyweight and his promotional company take all "event profits". Jones is a two-weight UFC champion. Ngannou was the reigning heavyweight champion when he left the UFC. Ngannou has 18 wins and three losses on his MMA record, while Jones - considered by many as the best MMA fighter of all time - has 28 wins, one loss and one no-contest. More MMA from the BBC
