Predictioin: Stephanie Luciano via Decision
On the feet, Luciano is definitely the sharper striker. She’s long, accurate, and understands how to use her reach. Her footwork and timing let her dictate range really well, and when she’s in rhythm, she makes opponents swing at air while landing crisp counters. She’s clean technically and doesn’t waste much energy, which helps her look composed even in scrappy moments.
The issue is what happens if this fight starts leaning toward Oliveira’s world. Ravena’s a grinder and while she doesn’t have Luciano’s finesse on the feet, but she makes up for it with pressure, persistence, and a solid grappling game. If she’s able to close distance and get to Luciano’s hips, she can absolutely steal rounds through control time. Luciano’s biggest flaw has been her lack of urgency when she gets taken down. She can defend well initially, but once she’s grounded, she tends to hang out too long instead of exploding to her feet, and that’s how Oliveira could quietly start stacking minutes in top position.
So this really comes down to who controls where the fight takes place. On the feet, Luciano’s length, accuracy, and movement should keep Oliveira off balance and make it hard for her to close the distance. But if Oliveira can push through the early shots and turn this into a clinch heavy, grind it out kind of fight, she can make things a lot uglier than Luciano wants.
