win is conditioned on her old form returning
A very good, safe striker who controls range and volume and combines punches and kicks well. Just as safe in grappling, difficult to contain or control, and plays a smart, points-based game plan. The analyst's whole case for her rests on a long layoff: he says flatly he cannot predict whether her old level returns, and the pick is explicitly conditional on it.
Strengthhigh-level striker; controls distance and keeps a busy output
Strengthblends her punches and kicks smoothly
Strengthplays it safe on the feet and on the mat alike
Strengthvery capable grappler, hard to pin down or contain
Strengthsmart, points-aware game plan
Strengthexperience/time edge over a less-tested opponent
Weaknesslong layoff leaves her current form genuinely unknown, by the analyst's own admission
