- Chiasson's 5-inch height and 4-inch reach advantage creates striking leverage
- 3-fight finish streak shows Chiasson's improved finishing ability
- Superior wrestling with 2.37 takedowns per fight vs Santos' 42% TDD
- Chiasson's 70% TDD can stuff Santos' limited wrestling attempts (0.97 per fight)
Write-up
Chiasson's recent finishing streak (2 KO/TKOs, 1 submission in last 3 wins) shows improved killer instinct. Her 5-inch height and 4-inch reach advantages are significant at 135 pounds. While Santos has better striking volume (4.42 vs 3.77 SLPM), Chiasson's superior grappling (2.37 takedowns vs 0.97) and 70% takedown defense should control positioning. Common opponent analysis favors Santos, but Chiasson's recent improvements suggest she's evolved past those performances.
- Chiasson's clear grappling advantage and higher takedown output
- Santos' low takedown defense against a strong wrestler
- Relatively low finishing rates for both fighters indicating likely decision
Write-up
Chiasson's superior takedown offense (2.37 TD avg, 38% accuracy) and strong takedown defense (70%) should allow her to dictate where the fight takes place. While Santos is the more accurate and higher-volume striker, her takedown defense is a significant liability (42%), making her susceptible to Chiasson's grappling. Both fighters have low finishing rates, making a decision likely.
