Yana 'Foxy' Santos is a 36-year-old Russian bantamweight training with American Top Team, and a former UFC featherweight title challenger who fell to Cris Cyborg by first-round TKO at UFC 222 in 2018. Her 17-8 record includes a no-contest not reflected in the win-loss total, and she has won three straight by decision, most recently over Macy Chiasson at UFC 320. She returns after more than a year away from competition to face fellow contender Luana Santos in a bout with real implications for the bantamweight rankings.
