Chelsea Chandler vs Yana Santos Prediction: Yana Santos to get the needed victory

In the octagon on Sunday, the bantamweight division will present a bout between Yana Santos and Chelsea Chandler. It is set as the Main Card fight 6 of 10 with 135 lbs (61.2 kg) weight class. All action will take place at UFC Apex, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, and can be watched live on ESPN+. 

Yana Santos is currently ranked 12 placed within the division and boasts of a professional record of 14 wins and 8 losses. She joined UFC in 2018 and has recorded four wins and 5 losses. Yana will be looking to give her fans something to talk about and also get herself from trouble within the UFC. She is on three straight losses against Irene Aldana, Holly Holm, and Karol Rosa from her last bouts.

Chelsea Chandler is just two ranks below her opponent, Yana Santos, who has recorded six wins throughout her professional career. She joined UFC in 2022 and has recorded two wins and one loss. Her debut was against Julija Stoliarenko, which ended in a win via Ground and Pound. Following that was her bout against Norma Dumont; Chelsea lost the bout via unanimous decision but redeemed herself in the bout against Josiane Nunes with a decision victory.

This will be a three-round striking affair in which Yana Santos will be looking to through more volume. Chelsea Chandler will be able to take one of two takedowns in this bout. My prediction in this bout will be to have this bout exceed two rounds. I am backing Yana Santos due to her experience to get this win via unanimous decision.
