Yana Santos vs Miesha Tate: Prediction and odds on the Match on 04 May 2025

The three-round bout will occur in the women's flyweight division (Kunitskaya is ranked tenth in the UFC's flyweight rankings, while Tate is eleventh). Miesha Tate is the bookmakers' favorite.

Yana Santos

Yana Kunitskaya has competed in professional mixed martial arts for over fifteen years. Before that, she won many major amateur competitions in martial arts (from grappling to Thai boxing). As a professional, she was the champion of the women's promotion Invicta FC, and in the UFC, she fought many top fighters and was consistently ranked.

She is married to Brazilian fighter Tiago Santos, has two children, and lives in the USA. Yana has seemingly ended her career on several occasions but has always returned. In her last fight, she beat Chelsea Chandler by decision, but before that, she had lost three.

Miesha Tate

Former UFC flyweight champion Miesha Tate, 38, has ended and restarted her career even more often than Kunitskaya, and now she's back. However, her layoff hasn't been very long - her last fight was in December 2023, when she defeated Julia Avila by submission.

Yana Santos vs Miesha Tate Match Prediction 04 May 2025

We don't expect much from the women's MMA veterans, and there will definitely be no fire and no color in their confrontation. Of course, the fight will not end quickly, and the winner will be the one who is better prepared at that particular moment—but it is almost impossible to predict.

According to the indirect signs, Miesha Tate is the minimum favorite; her professionalism is not in doubt, and her level of skills (if we are talking about the best years) was also higher. 

Our match prediction is a win for Miesha with odds at 1.80 on Bet365

Our betting tip on the match is TO 2.5 odds at 1.29 on Betway
