Uncertainty and intrigue greets Taila Santos’ return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s remade 125-pound weight class.
Santos will compete for the first time in more than a year when she tackles Erin Blanchfield in a UFC Fight Night 225 women’s flyweight showcase on Saturday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. She enters the Octagon having won four of her past five bouts. However, Santos last appeared at UFC 275, where she wound up on the wrong side of a split decision against then-champion Valentina Shevchenko on June 12, 2022.
