Command Analysis

Yana Kunitskaya

Current form
In August 2024, Yana Santos looked like she had returned from a personal training camp at the winners' camp. She just took Chelsea Chandler apart—she didn't leave an inch of doubt. Pressure, confidence, clear hits and competent distance control — the result is natural: victory by decision of the judges. And most importantly, the end of an unpleasant three—match losing streak. Before that, there were fights with Irene Aldana, Holly Holm and Carol Rosa. Yes, star names, yes, tough rivals, but conclusions have been drawn.
The 35-year—old Santos is not just a fighter. This is a woman who has won the title in Invicta FC three times. And after a spectacular performance in 2017, she got a ticket to the UFC - and she didn't get lost. Yana currently has 15 wins (seven by knockout, seven by decision, one by submission) and eight defeats. To date, he is ranked tenth in the UFC rankings.

Miesha Tate

Current form
Misha Tate... Yes, here one name already evokes nostalgia. Cupcake returned to the octagon after a break of as many as five years — from 2016 to 2021. And she returned spectacularly: a technical knockout of Marion Reno in the third round. But then the harsh reality returned: two defeats in a row from Kathleen Vieira and Lauren Murphy.
A year of downtime, a new reboot, and another comeback: December 2023, strangles Julia Avila, regaining her reputation as a tech grappler. After all, Misha is not just a former UFC champion. She is also a Strikeforce champion and an ex-vice president of the ONE Championship. And yes, she's 38, but she's still very dangerous in terms of numbers: 21 wins (four by knockout, eight by decision, nine by submission), nine defeats. She is currently 12th in the ranking of her UFC division.

14.0Tip and bets
Yes, the bookmakers are on Tate's side — but let's face it, this is not a bet on the form, but on the last name. Santos has both freshness, pace, and, most importantly, an understanding of how to fight on his own terms. Tate is a story, but a story with pauses, with comebacks, with changes. Santos — now. Alive, active, charged. Both athletes are not girls — they are 73 years old in total. We will see a neat, strategic fight, where Yana will competently work from a distance, shoot off her legs, restrain Tate with a jab and keep her out of the clinch. Unless a miracle or a blunder happens, the fight will go the full distance. And the judges will raise their hand to the Russian.
