Know more about Rafael Dos Anjos’ Wife:

Dos Anjos and Cristiane have been together since 2007, a year before the fighter debuted in the UFC. Anjos and Cristiane met during an event in Brazil. Cristiane was a ring girl and was also a producer of the event. She had to call Dos Anjos’ name but instead of saying Anjos, she spelled it, Santos. This led to their first interaction and that was love at first sight moment for Christiane Gurgel.

As mentioned earlier, Dos wasn’t doing well in his professional career’s initial days and Cristiane was the one who supported him during the bad times. Rafael once mentioned that it was after Cristiane came into his life he got serious about relationships. That shows the amount of influence Rafael’s wife has on him.
