Vanessa Porto (Iglesias Gold Team) dominated her category inBrazil. After the cancellation of her fight in Shine Fights, the fighter was chosen by Wallid Ismail to fight on Jungle Fight São Paulo, last Saturday. Vanessa doesn’t knew who she’d face yet, and talked with TATAME before the fight.

“I’m standing still for so long that I’m ready, with anger to pull out someone’s head (laugh) “. And she almost did it. Facing the Mahalia da Rocha (Checkmat), who was making her first MMA fight, Vanessa needed 4min28s to fit an arm-lock and wait for the tap. “I went well, was a good fight. Besides she’s a beginner, Mahalia is strong. I did what I needed to win “.

But the tough girl don’t stop there. On October 8, the athlete goes to rings again, on Open Games, this time fighting boxing. On October 17, Jungle Fight comes to Rio de Janeiro once again, and Vanessa is on the card. “There’s no time to rest, but I’m happy with this rush on the trains. Now is wait for the next Jungle and continue my preparation. For now, Wallid is speculating some fight overseas for me, I’m waiting. If it doesn’t show up, I’ll rest in December“.
