UFC bantamweight Luana Santos made history by securing the first Americana submission victory in the history of UFC women's competition, defeating Tainara Lisboa at UFC Vegas 106. Following the fight, Santos expressed her joy at making a mark in the sport while also acknowledging her strategy to fight cautiously. She reflected on her transition back to bantamweight, where she felt more comfortable and strong. In a lighthearted moment, Santos discussed her relationship with fellow fighter Allan Begosso and their hopes of potentially fighting on the same card in the future.
"Making history. I always tell people that I want to leave a little mark. To be the first Americana finish...before this fight I said I want to have a safe fight."
"I have one foot in one and another foot on another. I feel good about this, bantamweight was actually what I used to fight...This felt really good, I felt strong so this may be my home."
