Luana Santos earned a unanimous decision victory over her opponent in the "Battle of the Santos" fight at UFC Vegas 123.
Luana Santos took a unanimous decision over her opponent in the "Battle of the Santos" at UFC Vegas 123, adding another judges' scorecard win to a growing run in the women's bantamweight division.
The result was reported for the November 1, 2026 card. The opponent was not named, but the matchup drew its billing from the shared surname.
Santos, a 26-year-old Brazilian who trains with 011 MMA Team, now carries a 11-2-0 record by her verified numbers, and she sits at number seven in the women's bantamweight rankings. An orthodox fighter, she stands five-foot-six (168 cm) with a 67-inch (170 cm) reach.
Her statistical profile shows an accurate, grappling-minded approach. Santos lands 2.53 significant strikes per minute at 53 percent accuracy, a figure that sits comfortably above the coin-flip mark. She also averages 2.14 takedowns and one submission attempt per 15 minutes, a blend that has made her difficult to pin down to a single style.
Why it matters
- Form: Santos' most recent recorded fight before this card was a unanimous decision over Karol Rosa on June 20, 2026. Before that she beat Melissa Croden by unanimous decision on December 13, 2025.
- Consistency: With the Rosa and Croden wins, this latest result gives her at least three straight victories, going back to a second-round submission of Tainara Lisboa on May 17, 2025.
- Ranking: As a ranked bantamweight, another win keeps her in the conversation in a division where momentum often decides who moves up the list.
Her recent pattern is worth noting. Of her last three recorded wins, two went the full three rounds on the scorecards and one ended by submission in the second. That mix lines up with her numbers: steady striking accuracy, regular takedown attempts and a willingness to hunt submissions when they appear.
The "Battle of the Santos" tag made for an easy storyline, but the outcome fits the larger picture of a fighter who has stacked up wins at a steady pace and held a top-ten spot in her weight class.
