Humorous Take:
Luana Santos enters this bout with the confidence of someone who recently sparring-session-dreamed with Ronda Rousey—albeit nervously, per her "I love you" meltdown. But let’s not confuse emotional vulnerability with in-cage ineptitude. Santos’ 1.71-1.75 odds (depending on bookie) suggest she’s the consensus pick, while Croden’s 2.14-2.18 line implies she’ll need a three-round endurance test to shock the world.
The -3.5 spread on Santos is the real kicker here. Bookmakers essentially handed her a 4-round head start, which is generous even for a fighter who’s presumably not named Manel Kape (main event star, actual chaos magnet). Meanwhile, the Over 2.5 rounds line (-700 to -720) is a statistical trainwreck waiting to happen. If this fight goes the distance, I’ll eat my hat… and my belief in the sport of MMA.
Verdict: Santos in a walk, Croden’s Under 2.5 rounds betters cash in on the collective yawn. Ronda Rousey, take notes—this isn’t your legacy’s sparring session.
