UFC on ESPN: Santos vs. Hill (also known as UFC on ESPN 40 and UFC Vegas 59) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on August 6, 2022, at the UFC Apex facility in Enterprise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area, United States.[1]

Background

A light heavyweight bout between the former UFC Light Heavyweight title challenger Thiago Santos and Jamahal Hill headlined the event.[2]

The heavyweight and women's flyweight finals of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Peña vs. Team Nunes took place at the event.[3]

Former KSW Women's Flyweight Champion Ariane Lipski and Priscila Cachoeira were expected to meet in a flyweight bout at this event.[4] They were previously scheduled to fight at UFC Fight Night: Błachowicz vs. Jacaré in November 2019, but Cachoeira withdrew after being suspended for the use of a diuretic.[5] At the weigh-ins, Lipski weighed in at 128.5 pounds, two and a half pounds over the flyweight non-title fight limit. The bout was originally expected to proceed at catchweight with Lipski fined 20% of her purse.[6] However, the fight was removed from the card the day of the event due to Lipski not being medically cleared, and was postponed one week to UFC on ESPN: Vera vs. Cruz.[7]

A featherweight bout between Nate Landwehr and Zubaira Tukhugov was expected to take place at the event.[8] However, Tukhugov withdrew due to experiencing difficulties securing a visa and was replaced by David Onama at UFC on ESPN: Vera vs. Cruz just a week after.[9]

A welterweight bout between Jason Witt and Josh Quinlan was expected to take place at this event but was pushed back one week to UFC on ESPN: Vera vs. Cruz due to Quinlan was pulled from the event for an atypical drug finding; long-term metabolite (or M3 metabolite) of the steroid dehydrochloromethyltestosterone (DHCMT) in his urine sample.[10]

With ten finishes in ten bouts, this event ties UFC Fight Night 55 for a 100 percent finish rate for all bouts in a single UFC event.[11]
