Luana Santos Grapples Past Yana Santos for Fourth Straight UFC Win at Vegas 123

Luana Santos continued her climb through the women's bantamweight division on Saturday night, defeating Yana Santos by unanimous decision at UFC Vegas 123 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. All three judges scored the three-round contest 29-28 for the Brazilian. The win was Luana's fourth in a row and improved her professional record to 12-2. Luana imposed her grappling game from the opening round, and Yana, who had arrived on a three-fight winning streak, defended well early and found moments at distance, but she could not keep the fight standing long enough to change the pattern as Luana repeatedly dragged her to the canvas in the second and third rounds. Although Luana inflicted little visible damage, the control proved decisive on every scorecard.
