I take Ayys point that Sergei could wrestle, which makes it interesting

Philip Rowe, TKO, R2
Philip Rowe can knock out a statue. Price is a wild man. Someone is leaving the cage like Jeff.

The way I see it Ribas has no path to victory. Well maybe one if she catches Tracey with an unexpected KO blow.
Otherwise how does she win? Ribas is the more technical striker sure, and has higher volume. But this will not stay standing for long. And in fact I don't trust Ribas's chin one bit.
Tracey will take this down, she is super strong and has excellent wrestling cardio and her cage wrestling is great. Once on the ground her top pressure is very very good.
So Ribas will end up on her back, then what? Get up? Maybe with a scramble but she gets taken down again. Submit Tracey from bottom? This is Brian Ortegas girlfriend. Not happening.
In fact I think this is one of the worst match ups for Ribas in the whole division and I think the odds are completely the wrong way round.
Just my theory. And anyway, good wrestler with cardio usually beats BJJ practitioner most of the time

I do totally see what you mean tho lol. Ribas has pretty much exclusively beaten grapplers

But one thing, I think that the judo will come into play mainly against the cage and I think Tracey will go for takedowns on the open mat away from the cage. Makes the judo less effective and I think she will go more for legs than body locks etc...
As for the competition, point taken but the competition in that division is pretty **** anyway apart from like the top few. And as JR says Egger and Gatto are great wins

chookagian who hits infinitely harder and has infinitely better technique that allows her to generate better accuracy/more power than tracy couldn't chin ribas and actually got outstruck by her in r3 yet cortez is going to be able to chin ribas?
tracy is way too hittable when she's not grappling and struggles to close the distance. ribas' grappling is good enough that even when tracy gets a hold of her, she's going to make those grappling exchanges very competitive and give herself a chance to win this fight on the scorecards based on damage dealt prior to cortez engaging in the grappling
at the end of the day, this fight is going to be damage dealt by ribas on the feet vs control amassed by cortez on the ground, official ufc scoring guide favors damage over everything and lately there's been a clear trend in decisions both in the ufc and outside of the ufc where damage is favored heavily over control
close fight, going with ribas

you said ribas' chin is shot, i presented evidence to you of someone that hits with crispier technique, harder and is bigger than cortez not causing any issues to ribas' chin
stick to your "TRACY IS BRIAN ORTEGA'S GIRLFRIEND, SHES BEATING RIBAS" tier analysis
