She was fined 35 percent of her purse, and wound up losing a unanimous decision.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Santos <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/yana-santos-wants-stiffer-penalties-180020870.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:took issue with Chiasson missing weight;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">took issue with Chiasson missing weight<\/a>, but even more issue for her failing to take accountability.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not happy that she missed weight, but I&#8217;m happy that I made some extra money,&#8221; Santos told MMA Junkie Radio. &#8220;A lot of people say, &#8216;Oh, it&#8217;s just 1, 2 pounds \u2013 no difference,&#8217; but it&#8217;s the hardest pounds to cut. So the time when I&#8217;m suffering and cutting the last pounds, she just goes there, weighs herself, saves her energy. This is the most important pound and if it&#8217;s easy, you can just cut it and make weight, so it doesn&#8217;t make sense.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No one apologized before the fight or even after the fight, so I came to her and said, minimum you can do is say sorry. Even after the fight, it didn&#8217;t come from her. This is a completely strange situation, because I know before she was supposed to fight Aspen Ladd and (Ladd) missed by one pound, she refused to fight her and complained a lot. But when the situation is opposite and she&#8217;s in that place, she didn&#8217;t say sorry. This is strange for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Santos will put her title hopes aside as long as American Top Team training partner Kayla Harrison is bantamweight champion. However, after her third-straight win, she hopes to continue climbing the ladder.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think in the top 10, there are so many girls who are tough and interesting fights,&#8221; Santos said. &#8220;I would like to fight anyone who I haven&#8217;t fought before because some girls I already fought, and there are so many interesting fights. Whoever will be ready at the same time. I can&#8217;t tell you a specific name, but if someone higher ranked, it&#8217;s always more exciting. Now Norma (Dumont) is going to fight (Ketlen) Vieira. I know (Raquel) Pennington is injured. Let&#8217;s see after (a few) months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on MMA Junkie: <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/ufc\/2025\/10\/13\/ufc-320-yana-santos-exclusive-macy-chiasson-did-not-apologize-for-weight-miss-women-mma\/86669705007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Yana Santos: Macy Chiasson didn&#039;t apologize for UFC 320 weight miss;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Yana Santos: Macy Chiasson didn&#8217;t apologize for UFC 320 weight miss<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yana Santos explains why she&#8217;s especially surprised that Macy Chiasson never showed remorse for missing weight at UFC&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":211357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[102764,49,48,641,94773,638,82,640,1160,4554,94774],"class_list":{"0":"post-211356","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-aspen-ladd","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-fighting","12":"tag-macy-chiasson","13":"tag-mma","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-ufc","16":"tag-unanimous-decision","17":"tag-weight","18":"tag-yana-santos"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
