Prediction: Alice Pereira (NO BET)
I’m on Pereira here, but it’s not a confident pick because she’s still green. She hasn’t had that real test yet against quality competition, and this matchup is a big step up. These are the kinds of fights you don’t throw money on—you watch closely and use it as a measuring stick for what she’ll be moving forward.
Now, skillwise, Pereira does have things working in her favor. She’s the bigger fighter in this matchup, her striking looks sharp, and compared to her brother Alex, she actually seems to have a better grasp of grappling at this stage in her career. That’s a good sign for her longterm development. This fight honestly should be a layup if her skills translate the way they’ve shown so far. Her size, striking, and awareness on the ground should give her all the tools to win.
But the big thing here is the unknown. She’s talented, but we don’t fully know how she reacts when someone can actually push her, drag her into the later rounds, or test her defense. That’s why this is the spot where we observe rather than bet.
