Tânia Cardozo

Towering over the flank, this Brazilian powerhouse combines explosive acceleration with a wrecking-ball physicality that leaves attackers in the dust. After shattering her elbow in a freak lawnmower incident, she channelled that frustration into an obsessive defensive perfectionism, though her ego remains just as bruised as her former opponents. She is a defensive juggernaut who dominates every duel, even if her reckless aggression occasionally turns into a liability.
