Blanchfield will look to stay undefeated in her UFC career when she takes on Santos in Singapore. The 24-year-old Blanchfield is coming off a submission victory over former UFC strawweight champion Jessica Andrade in the second round of the main event of a UFC Fight Night last February.
All of Blanchfield’s last three wins inside the Octagon have come via submissions. She carries a 4-0 submission record but also has two wins via knockouts, though, she hasn’t scored on since coming over to the UFC. Blanchfield can be pretty dangerous with her striking on the ground, with 34 percent of her strikes in the UFC coming when she’s busy dealing with her opponent on the mat.

- Odds: +120

Santos hasn’t fought in over a year now, but the last time she saw action, she gave former champion Valentina Shevchenko hell before losing via split decision in a title match in June 2022. She managed to take down Shevchenko a total of three times in the match and also had three submission attempts.
Santos checks out as a powerful striker and an efficient grappler when it comes to bringing opponents to the mat. The Brazilian has 10 knockout wins in her career and also carries an excellent 88 percent success rate on takedown attempts to match with a 78 percent takedown defense. The 30-year-old fighter out of Astra Fight Team has 12 first-round finishes, so try not to blink in their upcoming showdown versus Blanchfield.
