UFC Fight Night Betting Preview: Rayanne Amanda Dos Santos vs. Tailita Alencar

December 9, 2023



The next UFC Fight Night 233 showcases great fights on Saturday, December 9 in Las Vegas. The opener for the prelims consists of a women’s strawweight bout between Rayanne Amanda dos Santos and Talita Alencar, with dos Santos favored at -170.

Rayanne Amanda dos Santos Betting Preview

Dos Santos has won her last three fights heading into this event after a failed debut in Dana White’s Contender Series. Her most recent win was a unanimous decision over Jillian DeCoursey in Invicta FC 53.

She has accumulated 14 victories that are composed of two knockouts, eight submissions, and four decisions. Out of her 14 wins, eight have ended in the first round of action. Looking to her six losses, four have come by decision.

She will be making her UFC debut in this matchup, despite a loss at DWCS. She has obtained quality wins throughout her career, with notable wins in Invicta FC and Shooto Brasil.

Dos Santos has steadily earned praise for her success inside the octagon. She is currently ranked as the 12th-best female atomweight in the world. This will arguably be one of her toughest matchups due to the stage she is performing on.

Talita Alencar Betting Preview

Alencar has gone 4-0-1 to start her professional fighting career. Her most recent battle was a draw at DWCS back in September of this year.

Her four wins have been consistent with three submissions and a decision. In two of her submission victories, she was able to end the fight in the opening round of action.

This upcoming fight will also be her debut in the UFC, but also has a failed effort in the DWCS. She also has one win under the Legacy Fighting Alliance, but does not yet have many quality wins under her belt.

Alencar is currently ranked as the 80th-best female strawweight in the world. This will be her toughest battle so far and one she cannot afford to lose as she has the potential to stay in the UFC for a while with a win to kickstart it.
