vs Mandy Böhm clear UFC Fight Night Rozenstruik vs Almeida Predictions & Full Card Breakdown (UFC Charlotte) · May 9, 2023
Calls Kim "the clear pick" with no hedge on the winner; only a round/method comment follows about the over, which does not demote per the confidence-bar rule.
A striker he calls good, crediting her with counters; the transcript file cuts off mid-breakdown before he elaborates her other striking components. He notes she will look for submissions but says that is not her best path to winning. He calls her the clear pick over Mandy Boehm and expects a decision unless Boehm gets caught.
vs Mandy Bohm coinflip UFC Vegas 68 Full Card Breakdown (Road to UFC Finals) · January 31, 2023 · 1 read since
Takes Kim at the end but says outright he will not trust the pick and is not betting it, and that the fight could go either way given her rough recent stretch.
A flyweight with good striking built on counters, volume, and combinations, with the cardio to sustain it across three rounds. Her grappling is decent and she will hunt submissions, but if put on her back she can stall there rather than working. Her last-five record looks rough, though the analyst argues a recent decision loss should have gone her way.
