Just going by tape Pudilova should win. She was quite bad in the UFC but she increased her aggression a lot on the regional scene since and she actually extends her lead arm when she jabs.
But going off tape in a low level WMMA fight is asking for trouble.

It's moot now, but if they wanted a female fight on the main card, why wouldnt they have showcased Maverick?

Masverick's opponent pulled out and I guess they couldn't find a replacement.

But they pushed this fight up before the Maverick fight fell through. They chose this one over that one for this spot. Which is weird to me.

Wu looks like an Eskimo IMO.

Pre-fight meal was probably walrus fat.
