Maximov had gone 2-2 through four fights with the UFC after earning his spot in the promotion on <em>Dana White\u2019s Contender Series<\/em> in 2020. After wins against Cody Brundage and Punahele Soriano, both of whom have outlasted him in the company, he was submitted by Andre Petroski, and dropped a decision to Jacob Malkoun. That spelled his exit from the promotion.<\/p>\n<p>Maximov has not lost since, winning middleweight gold under Urijah Faber\u2019s A-1 Combat and defending the belt a couple of times. At 28, a return to the UFC is not out of the question for Maximov, who last competed for LFA in September of 2020 immediately prior to his DWCS fight.<\/p>\n<p>Santos, who started his career 7-0, had held titles on the regional scene in Brazil, and had shared the cage with current UFC middleweight contender Caio Borralho.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to Watch LFA 243<\/h3>\n<p><em>LFA 243 takes place on Friday, October 9, 2026 at the Kaiser Permanente Arena in Santa Cruz, California.
