In a sport where being memorable can mean a huge difference in your paycheck, Ary Santos believes he may have stumbled upon a hook. He’s “The Neymar of MMA.” Naymar da Silva Santos Junior, better known in the sporting world as simply Neymar, is a 25-year-old Brazilian soccer player who is already the fourth-highest goalscorer in the history of his national team. Widely recognized as one of the sport’s most creative attackers, Neymar’s dribbling skills and finishing abilities have helped him become a featured athlete at Spanish powerhouse Barcelona, as well. Santos has none of that. But what the Brazilian lightweight does boast, in addition to a seven-fight winning streak, is a striking resemblance to his soccer-playing countryman. “The biggest difference is the way I travel and when the check comes at the end of the month,” Santos joked
