After an impressive run in the UFC, Taila Santos has been released from her contract following her close fight against Valentina Shevchenko and a recent loss to Erin Blanchfield.
Taila Santos has been released from her contract with the UFC, as reported by Twitter user Roster Tracker and confirmed by multiple sources. The Brazilian flyweight recently faced Valentina Shevchenko in a highly contested flyweight title bout in June 2022, ultimately coming up short in a split decision in Singapore. Santos earned her title shot with impressive victories over Molly McCann, Gillian Robertson, Roxanne Modafferi, and Joanne Wood in a span of 14 months.
Unfortunately, Santos suffered a loss in her most recent bout against Erin Blanchfield in August, which was originally scheduled for February but was postponed due to visa issues for her cornermen, one of whom is her husband. She leaves the UFC with a 4-3 record, having signed with the company through Dana White’s Contender Series in 2018 and achieving a 19-3 overall record in her professional MMA career.
