Melissa Croden vs Luana Santos - AI generated fight pick

Luana Santos has a significant edge in both experience and well-rounded skill set for this matchup. She is younger (25 vs 34), has an elite Judo base, and is already ranked in the top 15 of the division. Her UFC stats are strong across the board: 53% significant strike accuracy, 63% defense, 50% takedown accuracy, and a very high 83% takedown defense. She also has 5 wins by submission and has finished 4 fights in the first round, showing she can end fights quickly and in multiple ways. Melissa Croden, while physically larger (height, reach, leg reach), is making her UFC debut at age 34 and has not yet shown her skills against UFC-level competition. Historically, debuting fighters over 33 with little statistical UFC data struggle against ranked, well-rounded, and much younger opponents like Santos. Santos' recent wins over established names and her ability to finish by both KO and submission give her a clear advantage.
