Taila Santos didn’t win Saturday at UFC 275, but she perhaps gained respect from MMA fans for her valiant effort in a close decision loss to women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko.
The street credit came with a price, though, as a clash of heads caused immediate swelling and visible injury to the right side of Santos’ face in Round 4. On Sunday, Santos’ manager, Tiago Okamura,of On The Road Management, informed MMA Junkie that his fighter suffered a broken orbital as a result of the collision.
