"over the years, Ana has had many nicknames, from "Pitbullzinha" - Little Pitbull in Portuguese slang - as well as "Braba", which in her mother tongue is slang for tough, and "Marrenta" which is also Portuguese/Brazilian slang for cocky or someone who is overconfident to the point of arrogance. All these nicknames derive from her competitive career, where she often ventured into the open weight classes, despite being a rooster-weight."
