Yana Santos is ranked #6 at UFC women's bantamweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
Volume is the weapon: 4.41 significant strikes a minute on 70% accuracy. Rounds get won on attrition — opponents drown in output long before the final bell.
He arrives on a 3-fight win streak — most recently Macy Chiasson, Decision - Unanimous. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
At 36, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
