Meet the Pros: Evan Santiago

Hold up? It’s not Father’s Day already is it? No? Well it is today on FLX Tour because we have none other than the Tour’s freshest father figure Evan Santiago for Meet the Pros!

Unless Donut Guy Jesse Cramer became a father this morning, Evan maintains status of most recent zaddy. AND DESPITE THE NEWBORN! The young man still made it out recently to the 2024 Commissioner’s Cup. He was on the losing end of the bout, but fought valiantly, consistent with what fans and pros alike have seen from Santiago since he joined the Tour in 2023.
