Luana Santos was a force to be reckoned with at UFC Fight Night 256.
Santos (9-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) dominated Tainara Lisboa (7-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) with superior grappling in Saturday’s women’s bantamweight bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, locking in an Americana to finish the fight by submission at the 4:59 mark of Round 2.

Santos was emotional after her one-sided performance, which marked the first Americana finish in women’s UFC competition.
“I’ve been training a lot of new things,” Santos said through an interpreter during her post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. “I’m getting better. I came to smash girls. You’re going to see me against better ones.”
