Melissa is 5-0 as a pro but also has 9 amateur fights in the british amateur scene which is quite good, so she has the experience advantage as well.
I think she is a step above Irina and she should be a bigger favorite, I expect her to move to a -200 as soon as more people have had time to cap this fight.

Sodiq Yusuff, DEC
At this stage in his career I don't think that I can confidently bet on Barboza. He can get it done with another Highlight Reel-worthy finish, but he'd have to get it done early like he did vs Billy Q IMO. Yusuff in my mind has a few more ways to win with a bit less risk involved.
Maia vs. Araujo
Jennifer Maia, DEC
I really don't like betting on these women's fights. I hate how so many journeywomen are able to still hang on in the UFC.
Pereira vs. Barriault
Michel Pereira, DEC
I think Michel is hitting his stride. Even if he missed weight when he was gonna fight WB I still think he's an adequate gatekeeper of the Welterweight rankings.
Rodriguez vs. Saaiman
Cameron Saaiman
Saaiman has been perfect thus far and seems to have been more dominant at this level when comparing to CeeRod, who has a similar level of pro experience.
Cháirez vs. Lacerda
Edgar Cháirez, DEC
How the **** can you genuinely believe in Lacerda?
Yoder vs. Ducote
Emily Ducote, DEC
Yoder is more washed.
Elkins vs. Brown
Darren Elkins, DEC
Kinda wild to me that Darren is still fighting at all. Experience advantage perhaps for the win?
Lisboa vs. Oliveira
Ravena Oliveira, TKO, R2
With both of them on a finish streak, I think the younger one will maybe pull it off.
Gutierrez vs. Alatengheili
Chris Gutierrez, TKO, R2
El Guapo has already fought some ranked BWs and I think he'll be especially motivated after the Munoz fight. I think he'll get a finish.

Coming off a KO like the one he did against Font will be hard but I think Yanez can get that done.

Sodiq Yusuff, SUB, R3
I wonder what the main event underdog record in the apex is? Sodiqs inactivity worries me but I'll go with the younger, more well rounded fighter who's taken way less damage in his career.
Maia vs. Araujo
Jennifer Maia, DEC
Araujo looked so old and slow in her last fight. Her only chance to win is by finish in the first round & she couldnt even do that against glass chin ribas
Martinez vs. Yanez
Adrian Yanez, TKO, R3
Difficult fight to pick. I literally just switched from Martinez to yanez. Martinez is good but got KO'd by Davey grant and dropped against Alejandro Perez. I picked font to beat yanez because I noticed the holes in yanez striking defense. Martinez win over said nurmagomedov is impressive but said isn't much of a boxer which seems to be martinez weakness
Rodriguez vs. Saaiman
Cameron Saaiman, DEC
Extremely hard fight to predict. I just see something special in saaiman. Wouldn't surprise me in no matter who wins
Cháirez vs. Lacerda
Edgar Cháirez, SUB, R1
Edgar going to do the same thing he did 3 weeks ago. Lacerda is terrible
Pereira vs. Petroski
Michel Pereira, DEC
I like Pereira at middleweight & I do not like petroski on short notice
Yoder vs. Ducote
Emily Ducote, TKO, R2
I don't think I've ever had this much confidence in a 12-8 fighter
Elkins vs. Brown
TJ Brown, DEC
Cant pick old man Elkins but he'll probably win
Gutierrez vs. Alatengheili
Chris Gutierrez, DEC
Gutierrez is a better striker in a mostly standup fight and alatengheili is coming in on like a weeks notice

What about this matchup specifically changed in the last 3 years? Vivi is older sure, so is Jennifer. They're past the point where their game is evolving much. Vivi gasses in some fights and her chin is more compromised from her cuts though it should be noted she matched Grasso in strike output in rd4 and rd5. Jennifer has about double the amount of fights so more experience. They're essentially fighting people on the same level though, close to the top of the division or at the top of it.
Jennifer does well when she can counterstrike because she's good in the pocket with body rocking side to side. Whenever she is posed with long range weapons, jabs, kicks, she has a much harder time. Her TDD is also not great. Vivi has all of the above weapons but has her own weaknesses as mentioned above.
I'll happily take either one (in this case Vivi) at +130 or +140 in a pickem fight.

Sodiq Yusuff, TKO, R4
Barbhoza is getting older, I don't think he has the cardio to hang in the later rounds. Plus I think Yusuff will grapple which might limiit the Barboza offense.

Since she arrived at the UFC, Araujo has always had the problem of slowing down in the final part of the fight and despite having power in her hands, I think the only way she can defeat Maia would be using grappling strategies.
