FightIQ Verdict
"Luana Santos possesses a significantly higher ceiling and technical versatility, evidenced by her 7-1 UFC record and dominant takedown defense. While Yana Santos has found stability on a 3-fight win streak, she lacks the finishing upside and statistical defensive wall that Luana brings to the cage."
Casual fans overlook Luana Santos's 86% takedown defense, which completely nullifies the primary path of most opponents who try to grind her out. It forces the fight into striking exchanges where Luana maintains better defensive metrics (64%) than Yana (52%).
