UFC San Antonio: Holly Holm vs. Yana Santos Predictions And Best Bets

Holm is the more experienced fighter and should defeat Santos on Saturday night.

Holly Holm by Points (-145)

Holm is tough as nails in the octagon. Win or lose, Holm usually goes the distance in her fights. Seven of Holm’s last 10 fights have gone the distance. Holm has also won three straight fights by points. Add in the fact that Santos has not fought since 2021. This fight should go the distance, and Holm should come out on top.

Yana Santos +3.5 Points (-145)

While I think Holm will win by decision, Santos has proven she can keep fights close and go the distance. Santos has four wins in her UFC career, all coming by decision. Four of her last six fights have gone the distance. Because of the layoffs for both fighters, expect a close fight that comes down to points.
