Andre Ewell vs. Anderson Dos Santos In The Works for UFC Greenville

By Nolan King - April 27, 2019

With the event less than two months away, UFC Greenville is finally starting to fill up. A bantamweight bout between Andre Ewell (14-5) and Anderson “Berinja” Dos Santos (20-7) is in the works for the June 22, sources tell BJPenn.com.

A former titleholder in CES MMA, Ewell has split his two UFC appearances thus far. After defeating former UFC champion Renan Barao in his UFC debut, Ewell was submitted by Nathaniel Wood at UFC 232.

It took Brazil’s “Berinja” 26 professional bouts to make it to the ranks of the UFC. In November, Berinja debuted inside the octagon losing a unanimous decision to Nad Narimani at UFC Buenos Aires.

Both fighters will look to get back in the win column in South Carolina.
