Taila Santos believes she holds some distinct advantages over her next opponent.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran will seek a 2-0 start to her 2024 Professional Fighters League campaign when she meets the unbeaten Jena Bishop in a featured PFL 4 women’s flyweight prelim on Thursday at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
