Command Analysis
Current form
In May 2025, Luana Santos reminded fans why her name has long been heard in the context of the division's rising stars. Tonara Lisboa became another victim of her tenacious grappling, and the result was a submission. Before that, Santos lost by decision to Casey ONil, but successfully passed the test by Maria Agapova, winning again via choke. She currently has 11 wins (two by knockout, five by decision, four by submission) and two defeats.
Interesting betting trends
The accuracy of Santos' punches is 52 percent.
Current form
Melissa Croden, the former LFA champion, entered the UFC as if she had been registered there for a long time. In October, she confidently dismantled the same Lisboa, ending the fight with a technical knockout in the third round. With such a start, her record looks impressive: 11 wins (ten by knockout, one by submission) and two defeats. One of them was inflicted on her by Jacqueline Cavalcanti, who is already tipped to be a contender for the title in 2026. It is significant that Kroden got all her victories ahead of schedule, which means that the fight will definitely not be passive.
Interesting betting trends
The accuracy of Croden's punches is 57 percent.

2.55Tip and bets
Kroden makes a strong impression, but in her second fight in the UFC she comes across an opponent of a different level. She will not be able to transfer Santos to the stalls as freely as Lisboa. The Brazilian has 83 percent takedown defense, and she has already demonstrated how she can dry pass attempts from Miller and ONil. In the rack, Santos' punches look a little cleaner and more collected than Kroden's.
Our betting tip is that Santos will win in 1.71
