Macy Chiasson (11-4-0) versus Yana Santos (16-8-0) is a UFC Women’s Bantamweight bout on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Chiasson will be looking for an immediate response to her decision loss against Ketlen Vieira in March this year. It was a painful loss for the 34-year-old American, who had managed to build a winning momentum with back-to-back victories. Returning to winning ways will be at the top of her wish list this weekend.
Yana Santos, on the other hand, is enjoying a late-career surge, something she’ll be eager to maintain this weekend. The 35-year-old Russian won her last two fights against Miesha Tate and Chelsea Chandler via unanimous decisions. She’s just emerging from a difficult period that saw her lose three fights on the bounce, including a KO loss to Irene Aldana in July 2021. Santos will be eager to continue her winning run, setting up a nail-biting clash.

Our Macy Chiasson vs Yana Santos Prediction
Macy Chiasson will enter the Octagon as the warm -200 betting favorite. She boasts several advantages over her opponent, including size, athleticism, and clinch strength. On top of that, she has killer instincts that can blank her opponent if she lets her guard down. Impressively, she boasts three KO/TKO wins in the UFC, and her four-inch reach makes her a real threat to Santos. However, Santos is a clean mid-range striker with excellent cardio and durability. This combination should help her stay on her feet and last through all three rounds.
Our prediction for Macy Chiasson vs Yana Santos: A decision win for Chiasson.
