Analysis
(#24642) Luana Santos | ML | . To be completely honest, I'm not very high on Melissa Croden. I get that she's a "knockout artist" with six KO's in her nine fights as a professional. However, she's never won a decision and that definitely shows that the cardio simply isn't there. Yes, she's Canadian and so am I. But, in a fight like this against an outstanding grappler, I don't believe that she's going to have much of a chance if this fight goes past the first or second round. Luana Santos has never been finished in her career and won by submission already in 2025. I believe that there's definitely the possibility of another submission finish on Saturday at UFC Fight Night in Vegas. Santos will be confident and she will get the job done with ease. Burns' Prediction: Santos via. Submission in Round 3.
