Takes decision after weight miss
Santos defeated Stephanie Egger via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's a win that would have looked a whole lot better had Santos not missed weight by three pounds Friday morning. Neither woman landed much in terms of damaging strikes, with Santos' main claim to victory being the fact she racked up a whopping 7:44 worth of control time. Most of that was simply her pinning Egger up along the cage, which drained the clock and eliminated her opponent's ability to mount a comeback. The main concern for Santos at this point is getting her weight cut under control. Three pounds is a big miss. She needs to get that cleaned up before her next bout.
