Macy Chiasson: Rangy striker looking to rebound
Macy Chiasson (10-4), ranked #5, returns to the Octagon looking to bounce back from a decision loss to Ketlen Vieira. The 34-year-old American had won two straight prior to that, stopping Mayra Bueno Silva via doctor stoppage and submitting Pannie Kianzad. A big and rangy athlete for the division, Chiasson is known for her aggressive striking and underrated grappling, though her defensive lapses have cost her in the past.
Yana Santos: Veteran grappler aiming for third straight win
Russia’s Yana Santos (16-8) is enjoying a late-career surge, riding a two-fight win streak that includes victories over former champion Miesha Tate and Chelsea Chandler. The 35-year-old is a capable grappler with decent stand-up, but she lacks a true finishing threat, particularly on the ground despite her BJJ credentials. Nowadays she is seen as a solid gatekeeper for the top 10 at women’s bantamweight rather than a serious threat for the title.
Macy Chiasson vs Yana Santos prediction
Chiasson has the advantage in both striking and grappling, and her size and range should allow her to control the tempo. Santos is tough and experienced but lacks the offensive tools to truly trouble Chiasson in extended exchanges. Expect Macy to cruise to a clear decision victory.
Prediction: Macy Chiasson to win via decision
