Prediction: Alice Pereira (NO BET)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m on Pereira here, but it\u2019s not a confident pick because she\u2019s still green. She hasn\u2019t had that real test yet against quality competition, and this matchup is a big step up. These are the kinds of fights you don\u2019t throw money on\u2014you watch closely and use it as a measuring stick for what she\u2019ll be moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, skillwise, Pereira does have things working in her favor. She\u2019s 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\u2019s a good sign for her longterm development. This fight honestly should be a layup if her skills translate the way they\u2019ve shown so far. Her size, striking, and awareness on the ground should give her all the tools to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the big thing here is the unknown. She\u2019s talented, but we don\u2019t fully know how she reacts when someone can actually push her, drag her into the later rounds, or test her defense. That\u2019s why this is the spot where we observe rather than bet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
