One would think that Santos's first fight, a submission loss to Erica Paes (leglock), was her toughest encounter. Rather, Santos told Tatame that her toughest fights were against Vanessa Porto at Storm Samurai 9 in 2005 (decision victory) and Yoko Takahashi at EliteXC in 2008 (decision victory). It's likely no coincidence that those are the only two fights on her record that have gone the distance.Fighting Style:
Santos fights like most Chute Boxe competitors- she doesn't mess around. Her diverse Muay Thai skills and solid submissions allow her to go for broke from the beginning of the fight to the end. Along with this, she is also very strong and has outstanding cardio.Said another way, Santos likes to stand and knock her competitors out. Her fighting style could be characterized as both vicious and diverse.
