Santos had three matches before exiting the GP, beating Cassio Francis 0-0 (3-0 advantages), submitting Fellipe Trovo with a toehold and beating Isaque Bahiense 0-0 (2-0 advantages). 

Santos appeared to injure his knee in his match with Bahiense during a sequence that saw Santos attack for a calf-crush. As Bahiense escaped the position, Santos tweaked his knee and was seen limping during the match and as he left the stage.
