Prediction: correct Gadelha   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Esparza is game but she's got nothing for Gadelha and I don't think this fight will be close. Like, at all. Not even the wrecking machine that is Andrade could put gadelha away...she suffered unthinkable damage in that fight and got through it. Esparza does not hit hard, at all-and isn't aggressive. She's happy to counterstrike and win on points.

Cavillo very nearly subbed her in round one, and Gadelha is bigger, better, and stronger than Cavillo. And she has a much better gastank.

But I don't think she'll even need it here. Gadelha by submission within two.

Gadelha will win this quickly due to aggressiveness.

Prediction: correct Gadelha   correct Decision  

This fight is really up to whether Claudia quickly gasses or not.

I'm picking Claudia, because she is the more technically developed striker and grappler.

But I think this matchup is much more closer than what people make it out to be due to Claudia's persistent cardio issues.

If Carla can make Claudia work hard early in the fight and not get finished, or close to getting finished, Carla has a real chance of winning the 2nd and 3rd rounds, which in turn would win her the decision.
