Luana Santos reflects on her training that led to win at UFC Denver

Luana Santos extended her undefeated UFC run to five fights with a dominant submission victory over Mariya Agapova at UFC Denver.

The Brazilian fighter secured the rear-naked choke in the second round, showcasing the fruits of her intense four-month training camp. Santos expressed her pride in her performance, highlighting the meticulous preparation that led to the successful submission.

Speaking to Paul Felder (via. interpreter) in her post-fight interview, the Brazilian said:

"I’ve been training to get back for months… It’s four months of training to get the back. … I’m so glad I trained that much, because I was able to get her and get the rear-naked choke.” [H/t: Yahoo! Sports]

In the main event of UFC Denver, Rose Namajunas solidified her position as a top contender in the flyweight division by defeating Tracy Cortez via unanimous decision. Namajunas’ striking accuracy and effective takedowns proved too much for Cortez, who fought valiantly as a late replacement. Namajunas expressed interest in a title shot against current champion Alexa Grasso.
