Here's the match video of Taila Santos vs Roxanne Modafferi from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Flyweight. Roxanne's original opponent was supposed to be Tatiana Suarez. But she pulled out due to a knee injury. Taila is from Santa Catarina, Brazil. She trains at Astra Fight Team. She came to the UFC through the Brazilian Contender Series. She's 2-1 in the UFC. She has looked good at times. Roxanne is ranked in the top ten. And she is a highly experienced though not elite fighter. So she's a good measuring stick to test Taila. For the most part, Taila was much quicker than Roxanne. A second round punch stunned Roxy and cut her on the forehead. Roxanne wasn't the same after that. Taila cruised to an easy 30-27 win. I guess I would have liked to see her go for a finish. Taila passed the test. And I'm sure the next test will be more difficult. Enjoy the video!
She really took it to Roxanne in RD2 but good Frank. To bad for Roxanne. I was rooting for her. But you called it sir.
