Santos was born into a poverty-stricken family in Rio de Janeiro.[7] In early childhood, he suffered from an undiagnosed disease that spawned growing cysts in his stomach, but which were surgically removed.[7] In one of the occasional floods in his city, Santos' family lost their belongings and after a period of homelessness, they settled in the notorious neighborhood of Cidade de Deus.[7] Santos' father died just days after his mixed martial arts debut in 2010.[7]
