Puja Tomar

He calls it a close, competitive fight and says he won't be surprised either way, expecting similar volume and similar impact from both, and picks one side only on the narrow question of who is moving forward versus backward.

A good striker with good combinations who mixes kicks and punches well, leaning on a kick-heavy offense including good leg kicks and side kicks; the downside is a tendency to back up a lot, which the analyst says generally isn't a good look. Her defense is a bigger question: takedown defense is not rated well, and submission defense is called into question directly, tied to a past finish he felt was there to be defended.

He says outright he 'doesn't feel mega confident,' picks the priced underdog, and hedges the mechanism itself with 'maybe' and 'probably.'

As of 2025-03-16, not his newest read. A good striker with solid combinations, a leg kick, and a side kick the analyst likes for creating space. Her stated flaws are a willingness to move backward and a takedown defense he calls short of the best.

Repeated, unhedged commitment -- 'that's the pick' -- after a mechanism argument (her grappling beats Tomar's takedown defense); the only non-analytical note is a disclosed personal fondness ('soft spot for Amanda'), which per the fan-bias rule is not a hedge on the win.

A 4-1 (last five) striker who leads with a forward, combination-heavy kickboxing game -- good pressure, leg kicks, and the ability to mix punches and kicks cleanly. The analyst calls her the technically better striker of the two, but says her grappling is simply not there, and he does not think her takedown defense survives Amanda's ground game.
