Brazil’s Luana Santos takes on Kazakhstan’s Mariya Agapova in the prelims of UFC Denver in a UFC women’s flyweight bout. The winner of this bout will certainly come away with much more clarity in their UFC career. While Santos missed weight in her bantamweight clash last time out, Agapova, who has been out of action since September 2022, desperately needs to return to the win column. The in-form Luana Santos is a huge favorite to win the bout slated at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, USA.

Luana Santos
The 24-year-old is 2-0 in the UFC and has won four consecutive fights. Debuting in the UFC last August, Luana Santos stopped Juliana Miller in the first round of the bout with punches. She followed that up with a win over Stephannie Egger last December but weighed in above the limit in their bantamweight clash. The former LFA fighter is 7-1 overall and is an intriguing prospect.
