I'm never happy about an injury, but I really didn't want de Randamie or Evans-Smith to lose.

Prediction: correct Evans-Smith   wrong Decision  

de Randamie has now been injured and forced to drop out from 3 of her last 5 scheduled fights. Not good...
Macedo is undefeated but it seems like she hasn't faced a very high level of competition. She might have a better shot at Evans-Smith than she did at Ji Yeon Kim though TBH.

Really interested in how Macedo will do in the big leagues.  She looked very good in all of her previous fights and I hope that was because of her skill and not due to the quality (or lack thereof) of her opponents.  The UFC really needs a young Women's Bantamweight contender to shake up the division, and Macedo (in my opinion) could be it.

@GreenHornet I'm not trying to hate on Macedo or your opinion that she could shake things up in the UFC's WBW Division. I honestly think she was brought up too soon. I'll give her some credit she does have 7 wins including both her ammy's and pro fights, and 7 wins is pretty solid for a 20 year old. But she doesn't have that quality win anywhere on her resume. She's actually coming off a Majority Draw in her last fight against another girl that's nothing special. I smell a tough night for Macedo, she'll be giving quit a bit in size and AES is really not that bad at all. There's way too many factors that play against MAcedo here. I think AES will stop her within 2 Rounds.

@DetroitSuperstar  I agree with that.  She was going to a big fight with Ji Yeon Kim at the next TOP FC event, but she obviously won't be fighting on that card now.  I just think that Women's Bantamweight is so wide open that even someone like Macedo could sneak up and be successful in it.  That being said, Evans-Smith is no pushover and is definitely going to be a tough fight for Macedo.

Having watched 4 of Macedo's fights on youtube

she definitely kicks pretty hard

she has more jiu jitsu skill than most kickboxers

but she has very little grasp of takedown defense.  And that's when she's taking on opponents who are natural flyweights and straweights, not AES who is basically Cyborg size and initiates the clinch ASAP in prior fights

@GreenHornet

Macedo won't be making waves at Women's Bantamweight because she doesn't even cut weight to hit 135.

She will be at Strawweight if UFC keeps her around

Prediction: correct Evans-Smith   wrong Decision  

This one's going to be decided on size and size alone. I don't see Macedo being able to hur Ashlee with anything and Ashlee's going to woman-handle her.

If Ashlee keep up with thinking her striking is great like the her last fight she'll win a comfortable decision. If she remembers she's predominantly a wrestler and a pretty damn good one I think she overpowers Macedo and eventually gets a finish.

Due to the fact that Macedo won't put Ashlee in danger and she wants to become a knockout artists, I think she doesn't apply a grappling-based game plan and beats her striking.
