"I was competing in the UFC, but I wasn't very happy. It all started with a title fight against Shevchenko. I clearly won, and it was one of the first tough fights of Valentina's career. Before that, no fighter had done what I had done. A lot of people wanted to see a rematch, fans were asking for it, but it never happened.
There were also some frustrating things with the calendar and dates. I had one fight last year, and again simple - no dates and no information on how long I had to wait. I waited a long time after each fight and it was frustrating. So I worked off the contract and did not sign a new one," - quotes the words of the Brazilian woman MMA Junkie.
Recall that the 30-year-old Santos has already joined the PFL. On the night of April 5 at the PFL 1 tournament in San Antonio, USA, the Brazilian will share the cage with compatriot Hilara Joanne in the opening bout of the Grand Prix women's flyweight tournament.
