Loma Lookboonmee

says this was the hardest pick of the night to settle on and closes by saying it could go either way

A striker who leans on body kicks, a front kick that keeps distance, and a switch kick to freeze opponents, with the clinch as her best overall phase thanks to knees, elbows and trips. Her grappling has come along from nothing to a passable level, but she is small for the division and struggles to hold range, and is largely finished if taken to her back.

He acknowledges possible betting value on the underdog but explicitly says he is trying to pick a winner rather than chase value, backed by a specific size/range mechanism.

A good striker with a strong body kick, front kick and a switch roundhouse, and a real route into the clinch where she controls well with trips, elbows and knees. Her grappling is decent, with decent takedown defense and good top pressure, but she is explicitly called very weak defensively off her back.

Commits plainly ("we're taking LMA") and never voices outcome doubt; only hedge is that Nunes "hits fairly hard" but he says he doesn't see a one-shot finish.

A well-rounded striker he favors to control every minute of this fight. Her toolkit includes a body kick, a front kick, and a switch roundhouse that makes opponents flinch, and she likes closing distance into clinch range, where her knee strikes and elbow strikes do damage before she lands trips from there. Her grappling has been developing: he credits her takedown-stopping ability as having come a long way lately, even though staying off bottom position remains an issue for her. He gives her the edge everywhere.

Says plainly he does not feel good about the pick given the physical mismatch, but commits anyway, siding with the technically better clinch fighter over the physically bigger one.

8-3 at strawweight, shorter and shorter-armed than her opponent. Our paraphrase: rated a solid striker with a good body kick, switch roundhouse and front kick, and the stronger clinch fighter of the two if she can close the distance; her grappling is decent with good top pressure, good takedown defense and a recent submission, but she is explicitly called weak off her back.

Direct pick statement naming Lookboonmee, backed by two independent reasons (her striking edge, and enough takedown defense to keep it standing where she has the advantage). The only hedge present is wager caution -- he says he is unlikely to bet it and would only do so as a wild prop -- not a hedge on who wins. No late reversal (rule 3f).

Primarily a striker with very good, high-volume Muay Thai and a trip-takedown game she mixes in to keep opponents guessing rather than control them. Good on top in grappling exchanges. Analyst picks her specifically because he expects the fight to stay standing, where he gives her the edge, and because he credits her with enough takedown defense to deny her opponent's only realistic equalizer.

Coinflip on his own wording. He names her and in the same breath says he is 'not confident whatsoever'; he judges the fight too close to act on at all; and he states he is taking her only for 'the sake of a pick' -- the exact construction the grading bar treats as inert. One earlier conviction phrase, 'pretty cut and dry', does not survive the chapter: he qualifies it in the next clause by saying you cannot work from what is unknown, and the chapter closes on no-confidence language instead. His supporting reasons are comparative edges only -- better Muay Thai, a stronger level of past opposition -- with no assertion about how the fight is actually won, and he ends by inviting viewers to argue that Gomes will outclass her.

On paper a Muay Thai contest in small gloves, and he treats Lookboonmee as the better equipped of the two women in that exchange: she gets the edge in the striking and she has met the stronger opposition. Neither woman, in his read, is looking to take the fight to the mat. He also has her coming in off a proper preparation while the opponent in front of her stepped in late. None of it moves him: he says the matchup is too close for him to do more than name a side.
