Taila Santos is eager to start a new chapter in her MMA career, as she believes she can be both a champion and a millionaire by the end of it. Santos (19-3), a former UFC title challenger, makes her PFL debut this Thursday at 2024 PFL 1 in San Antonio. It’s her first fight since her unexpected exit from the UFC late last year.

Ahead of such a big competition, Santos feels confident in her chances of going all the way. “I feel like I’m one of the favorites entering the tournament,” Santos told MMA Junkie in Portuguese .
