Predictions: 1 of 4 Winners, 0 Perfect, 65 Points   |   Tied for 378th

Leve vs. Tsendayush
Naranjargal Tsendayush, TKO, R2
both women competed at elite levels outside of MMA: Leve has a BJJ/Grappling background and Tsendayush was a world medalist in Judo and Sambo. In my opinion the winner of this fight will be the one who has made the transition to MMA effectively, I personally think that Sambo/Judo are better bases for MMA than competitive BJJ: Sambo (especially Combat Sambo) It is a style where they are practically MMA fights, but in one round and with a different scoring system. The current competitive BJJ has several aspects that put you at a disadvantage in the case of going towards MMA: slams are prohibited and takedowns are not something that is worked on as a priority because in competitive BJJ you work a lot from guards and looking for transitions They are not used to receiving ground and pound and many BJJ Fighters tend to exhaust themselves after the first round on the ground or by spending a long time exchanging strikes. Tsendayush in her last fight had a great performance, I think she is the most complete if her fighting styles cancel out the fight going to the ground and I think that if Leve tries to use her bottom guard, Tsendayush would punish her with a good ground and pound.

Mishelle vs. Martins
Jeslen Mishelle, DEC
I have always said that Average MMA Brazilian fighter > USA and North American WMMA ''Rising Prospect'', I think that it is an unwritten rule that applies in 80% of the cases, but I consider that Jeslen has demonstrated his level in his 2 first fights in PFL. Martins is undefeated, but she has some downtime and hasn't faced opposition that is superior to Mishelle's and even her last 3 booked fights that fell at Titan FC were frankly record padding. Martins has the advantage of being considerably younger and being on the American Top Team, but Mishelle has had a more consistent run and I think she will come out on top to take the decision.

Montague vs. Woods
Michelle Montague, SUB, R1
Montague is an IMMAF and IBJJF world champion, Amador has a KO victory in 7 seconds in his only fight as an amateur but that was over 4 years ago against a low level opponent. The moment Michelle brings the fight to the ground with either a takedown or catching her opponent off balance the fight will soon be over.

Noble New Predictions

Predictions: 4 of 4 Winners, 1 Perfect, 225 Points   |   Tied for 12th with 4 others

Mishelle vs. Martins
I want Evelyn Martins at -215. She has an amoral inverted facelock and a uppity stamina. Martins ought to attempt the senses.

Leve vs. Tsendayush
I take Amanda Leve at -280. She has an intelligent lapel choke. Leve must impair the dissentient.

Cataline vs. van der Veerdonk
I am sniffing Jackie Cataline at -195. She has an eccentric dragon sleeper. Cataline should kindle the dissentient. Trust me!

Montague vs. Woods
I fancy Michelle Montague at -475. She has a decent stutter step. Montague must drain the previous pitfalls.

Guys all of you who try to pick fights and bet. Remember, a good wrestler with cardio beats a BJJ player almost 90% of the time.

Ok found someone more annoying than Kayla. This Michelle chick could be the most annoying female fighter I've ever seen. Good thing I have Martins.

Man, they need to bring Pacheco to the studio and the commentary table. Larissa is the champion, Kayla was the big fish in the small aquarium: literally PFL maintains the 155-pound division so that she continues fighting in PFL and avoiding super-fights against Nunes or Cyborg and even so last year she already lost her undefeated record and the million dollar check.
