Dos Santos was invited to be Lyoto Machida's sparring partner for his first fight against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. He has stated that his biggest dream is to make it into the UFC. His manager has talked to UFC Matchmaker, Joe Silva, about dos Santos joining the UFC.[2]
Dos Santos fought Josh Barnett at Impact FC 1 - The Uprising: Brisbane on July 10, 2010 and if he won he would be signed by Strikeforce. However, he lost by TKO at 2:45 of the 1st round.
Team Quest coach Heath Sims offered Mondragon the opportunity to come out to train in Murrieta, California, and continue to refine his game after watching his fight against Barnett.[3]
