Taila Santos \u2014 La Br\u00e9silienne qui a failli d\u00e9tr\u00f4ner la reine<\/h2>\n

De Jaragu\u00e1 do Sul \u00e0 l’octogone<\/h3>\n

Taila Jaine dos Santos est n\u00e9e le 22 juin 1993 \u00e0 Jaragu\u00e1 do Sul, dans l’\u00c9tat de Santa Catarina au Br\u00e9sil. Son p\u00e8re est entra\u00eeneur de Muay Thai, mais elle n’a chauss\u00e9 les gants qu’\u00e0 16 ans \u2014 avant \u00e7a, c’\u00e9tait plut\u00f4t le foot dans la rue avec les gar\u00e7ons du quartier. D\u00e8s ses premiers entra\u00eenements, son p\u00e8re l’inscrit directement \u00e0 un championnat \u00e0 la Chute Boxe de Curitiba. Le message est clair : on apprend en combattant. Elle encha\u00eene ensuite avec le jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien (ceinture bleue) et se lance dans le MMA peu apr\u00e8s, avec son p\u00e8re toujours aux commandes.<\/p>\n

Elle fait ses d\u00e9buts professionnels en 2013 et accumule les victoires sur la sc\u00e8ne r\u00e9gionale br\u00e9silienne, d\u00e9crochant notamment le titre Aspera FC et plusieurs ceintures de Muay Thai catarinensiennes et paranaenses. Vingt victoires sur vingt-deux combats avant m\u00eame de signer \u00e0 l’UFC, dont la majorit\u00e9 obtenues avant la limite.<\/p>\n

L’UFC : mont\u00e9e en puissance, title shot et d\u00e9ception<\/h3>\n

Elle d\u00e9barque \u00e0 l’UFC le 2 f\u00e9vrier 2019, et son premier combat tourne mal : d\u00e9faite aux points contre Mara Romero Borella (d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e). Pas de quoi la faire douter. Elle encha\u00eene ensuite quatre victoires cons\u00e9cutives, dont une soumission (rear naked choke) exp\u00e9ditive contre Joanne Wood le 20 novembre 2021, boucl\u00e9e \u00e0 4:49 du premier round.<\/p>\n

Le 12 juin 2022, elle monte dans l’octogone de l’UFC 275 \u00e0 Singapour face \u00e0 Valentina Shevchenko, la championne des poids mouches f\u00e9minins la plus dominante de l’histoire de la division. Ce que tout le monde attendait comme une formalit\u00e9 se transforme en guerre. Santos fracasse Shevchenko dans les \u00e9changes, domine au sol sur plusieurs rounds et, malgr\u00e9 une fracture de l’orbite droite cons\u00e9cutive \u00e0 un choc de t\u00eates accidentel, elle pousse l’adversaire jusqu’\u00e0 la derni\u00e8re seconde. D\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e pour Shevchenko \u2014 avec un juge qui donne le combat \u00e0 Santos. Julianna Pe\u00f1a dira publiquement que Santos a gagn\u00e9 ce combat avec un seul \u0153il valide. La d\u00e9faite est officielle, la performance reste dans les m\u00e9moires.<\/p>\n

En ao\u00fbt 2023, elle s’incline par d\u00e9cision unanime face \u00e0 Erin Blanchfield. Lib\u00e9r\u00e9e par l’UFC en novembre 2023, elle quitte la promotion avec un bilan de 4 victoires et 3 d\u00e9faites dans l’octogone.<\/p>\n

Style : la puissance du Muay Thai, l’endurance d’une finisheuse<\/h3>\n

Santos est avant tout une frappeuse. Sa base Muay Thai lui donne une puissance de frappe sup\u00e9rieure \u00e0 la moyenne de sa division \u2014 11 victoires par KO sur 23 au total, dont 12 finies au premier round. Sa d\u00e9fense au sol est solide (86% de takedowns d\u00e9fendus \u00e0 l’UFC), ce qui lui permet de rester debout et de dicter la distance. Face \u00e0 Shevchenko, elle a aussi montr\u00e9 qu’elle pouvait tenir cinq rounds au plus haut niveau mondial.<\/p>\n

PFL et suspension<\/h3>\n

Sign\u00e9e \u00e0 la PFL d\u00e8s mars 2024, elle fait ses d\u00e9buts sous cette banni\u00e8re en \u00e9tranglant Ilara Joanne, puis encha\u00eene avec des victoires sur Jena Bishop et Liz Carmouche pour atteindre la finale des poids mouches 2024. Elle y rencontre Dakota Ditcheva le 29 novembre 2024 et s’incline par TKO au deuxi\u00e8me round sur un body shot d\u00e9vastateur. En parall\u00e8le, une suspension de six mois lui est notifi\u00e9e par l’USADA apr\u00e8s un contr\u00f4le hors comp\u00e9tition du 21 mars 2025 positif \u00e0 l’oxandrolone et au clenbuterol \u2014 suspension r\u00e9troactive, la ramenant \u00e0 la comp\u00e9tition \u00e0 partir du 21 septembre 2025. Au classement PFL poids mouche f\u00e9minin, elle pointe \u00e0 la troisi\u00e8me place en janvier 2026.<\/p>\n
