Female MMA fighter Janaina Soares of Brazil took on Vanessa Gonçalves Santos at Favela Kombat 30: Extreme Evolution last week. It did not go well for her.
In fact, she got beat up so bad in being TKO’d by Santos after two rounds her face was swollen up to terrifying proportions.
Favela Kombat
Reports a Dama de Ferro (via Google Translate)…
The 30th edition of Favela Kombat fulfilled its promise to shake the city of Itaboraí, Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro. The event marked the six year celebration of the organization chaired by Claudinho FK and had great fights for the audience that filled last Saturday (29) Ita Music.
In the women’s duel of the night, Vanessa Gonçalves got the better of Janaina Soares Jay in a fight that the Time to Fight athlete was superior to the entire fight. In the second round after taking heavy blows, Janaina was very injured and in the interval from the second to the third round the doctors examined and did not let the fighter return to the confrontation.
Heavy blows… with what, a sledgehammer?
So of all the hematoma’s ive seen in combat sports, this is probably number one! Vanessa Gonçalves def. Janaina Soares by TKO (doctor stoppage)! pic.twitter.com/Ezo10qklW9

Naturally, people on the internet wished Soares a speedy recovery from her savage beating.
Just kidding, this is the internet! They made jokes!
