Luana Santos holds the #7 spot at women's bantamweight, flying the flag for Brazil — and rankings that high aren't given away, they're taken.
The ground is where fights end: 5 wins by submission (45% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't.
He arrives on a 3-fight win streak — most recently Karol Rosa, Decision - Unanimous. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
And here's the scary part: he's 26. 13 pro fights before most fighters hit their prime — the ceiling is nowhere in sight.
