"clear path to victory"

A tall, long-limbed boxer at heart who leans on her distance advantage, extending crisp straight punches and only occasionally mixing in kicks. Forced to fight with her back against the fence or pressed forward, that clean boxing breaks down somewhat and she becomes easier to tag. Her ground game is okay: her ability to stop takedowns is solid though short of great, and she lands decent shots from the top when she gets there; she is credited with not simply turtling in guard and handing over an armbar. She stepped in on short notice for the original opponent and moves up a weight class from her usual strawweight to flyweight for this fight.

StrengthUses range well, good long straight punches
StrengthGood ground and pound from top
StrengthDoesn't sit in guard passively
WeaknessLoses striking cleanliness and takes more damage when pressed off the back foot
