Karol Rosa vs Luana Santos Prediction – UFC Vegas 119 Predictions

Karol Rosa (19-7) is back in the Octagon, and the veteran UFC fighter is looking to defend her ranking at 135 pounds. The Brazilian is a complex striker who relies on activity and good takedown defense to make up for her lack of power on the feet, a situation that has seen her rack up eight UFC wins by decision. She has only ever been defeated against ranked competition during her time in the promotion, losing to the likes of Ailin Perez, Norma Dumont and Irene Aldana to underline her reputation as a solid gatekeeper to the Top 10. She was last seen earning a unanimous decision over Nora Cornolle last August.

Luana Santos (10-2) is coming off a six fight UFC run perfect outside of a decision loss to Casey O’Neill in 2024, and aims to make good on her chance to crack the Top 10 come Saturday night. Posting a 5-1 record with two finishes since joining the promotion in 2023, Santos is an accomplished grappler, with half of her professional wins coming by way of submission. While her striking leaves a lot to be desired, at 26, she still looks to have considerable room to improve as a mixed martial artist. She’s currently riding a two fight win streak since losing to O’Neill, scoring an Americana submission victory over Tainara Lisboa and earning a decision over Melissa Croden last December.

This is a classic striker versus grappler matchup and I think Santos is a solid value pick here as a slight underdog. Santos has never been the best striker at 135 pounds but she looked impressive last time out against a big, powerful bantamweight in Melissa Croden, negating the Canadian’s physicality advantage with ease en route to a decision win.

On the other side of the cage, Rosa is a considerably better kickboxer with much higher output, but almost non-existent power, so that means Santos isn’t going to have to overly worry about the shots coming back in her direction, allowing her to grapple and hunt takedowns more aggressively without the fear of walking into a fight ending shot. While she’s proven to have solid takedown defense, Rosa also has a tendency to get stuck in bad positions as she attempts to fight off the shot, giving up precious seconds on the clock in the process.

Rosa, the older fighter in this contest, is considerably more experienced than her Brazilian compatriot, dropping results to only ranked level opposition during her time under the UFC banner. There’s a good chance that she leans on that experience to pot shot her way to victory, but we’re going with Santos to mix in well-timed takedowns and control time to earn a decision in a slight upset.
