The analysis
This is a rematch where Santos has already shown he can finish Naimov via TKO. The Tapology data reveals they've fought 3 times recently, with Santos winning 2 of 3 including a TKO victory. Santos' 17-1 record and 5-fight win streak against quality opposition (Yusuff, Marshall) demonstrates elite momentum. His striking volume (4.77 SLPM) and accuracy (46%) combined with superior defense (57% vs 42%) creates a significant striking advantage. Naimov's recent form shows vulnerability to finishes (2 submission losses) and his striking defense has deteriorated.
Santos displays a significant edge in striking volume, accuracy, and defensive metrics. Naimov absorbs more strikes than he lands and has struggled with defensive efficiency. While Naimov's wrestling could be a factor, Santos' superior striking differential and defensive acumen give him the advantage in a likely standup-heavy contest.
