Santos is 3 years older, is the same height (5’5”), and has a 3” inch reach advantage over McCall.
Santos is a former Vice World Jiu-Jitsu champion, and has held belts in Iron Man, Iron Fights, and Gladiator Fight promotions. This is his flyweight debut, but he has been a pro fighter since 2006. He has twelve wins by knockout, six by submission, twelve first round finishes, and has won six of his last seven fights.
McCall is a purple belt in Jiu-Jitsu, and the former Tachi Palace Fighting Champion. He has been a pro since 2002, has four wins by knockout, and three by submission. Despite being ranked in the top 10, he has yet to get his first victory at flyweight.
This is another hard one for me to call due to the lack of information I can find about Santos. I will say that his resume is impressive, he has shown consistency in finishing fights, where McCall has been somewhat inconsistent with outcomes under Zuffa. No denying that McCall has fought more established names in his career (Cruz, Mighty Mouse, and Benavidez), and Santos was not impressive in his debut against Alcantara, this was however a short notice fight. I see people calling this a “tune up” fight for Uncle Creepy and I’m just not that confident. I see McCall being a favorite here, for name recognition if nothing else.

I think McCall should not fight Junior Dos Santos. He's too big
