The analysis

Claude
Alice Ardelean by Decision, 60% confidence

This matchup features two fighters on losing streaks with similar striking metrics but critical differences in grappling approach. Ardelean's superior takedown accuracy (40% vs 12%) and perfect takedown defense (100% vs 88%) provide a clear path to control positions. While dos Santos has a slight edge in striking defense (61% vs 52%), Ardelean's higher volume (4.97 vs 4.36 SLPM) and superior striking accuracy (45% vs 43%) should neutralize this advantage. Both fighters have struggled recently, but Ardelean's more balanced skill set and superior grappling credentials give her more pathways to victory in what projects as a competitive but clear decision win.
