She was fined 35 percent of her purse, and wound up losing a unanimous decision.<\/p>\n<p>Santos <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/ufc\/2025\/10\/07\/ufc-320-yana-santos-opinion-harsher-penalties-weight-misses-macy-chiasson-point-deduction\/86562242007\/\" 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>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","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":211614,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[102882,76,49,48,641,4225,1262,638,2034,44,1333,2042,82,865,640,44038],"class_list":["post-211613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-102882","tag-arts","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-martial","tag-martial-arts","tag-mma","tag-neutral","tag-news","tag-overall","tag-overall-neutral","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-ufc","tag-ufc-320"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211613","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=211613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
