FIGHT WINNER
Karol Rosa
Predicted: 29-28
59%
Karol Rosa, ranked #10 in the Women's Bantamweight division, possesses a significant striking volume with 5.88 significant strikes landed per minute at 56% accuracy. Her higher ranking and extensive experience against tougher competition, including five decision wins in her last six UFC bouts, demonstrate her ability to go the distance and accrue rounds. While Luana Santos is a dangerous grappler with a black belt in Judo and a submission threat, Rosa's 70% takedown defense and ability to maintain striking distance should allow her to largely dictate the pace of the fight. Santos' submission game is potent, as evidenced by her recent Americana finish, but Rosa's resilience and cardio make a decision victory more probable in this competitive matchup.
