Tamires Vidal

States the pick twice, unhedged, and explicitly flags that his own confidence here is unusual for him -- he names this as not his normal read of her. No hedge of any kind on the win itself appears anywhere in the chapter.

Vidal is a forward-pressure striker with decent power and a cage-based takedown game who looks for submissions once on top, but the analyst's clear concern is her will to continue -- he says she fades mentally under pressure, in his words showing ‘a lot of quit’ and that her cardio is not the greatest, meaning sustained pressure could make her look for a way out.

Named plainly twice: goes 'with Gatto', judging her clearly the superior fighter, backed by a real skill-gap argument plus the betting line swinging hard onto her. The closing line about Vidal's size being the only real issue reads as resignation about Vidal's one path, not a hedge on who wins.

A bigger, stronger fighter without much polish on the feet -- decent power but limited technique -- credited with aggressive submission hunting and decent cage takedowns but explicitly said to fade as a fight goes on. Her one real win on paper is discounted: it came by disqualification after the opponent, not her, was doing the damage.

He commits repeatedly ('leaning Cowan here', 'Cowan's gonna get this one done') but caps it himself: 'not my most confident pick' -- a qualifier on the win itself, not just method, so this does not reach 'clear'.

Vidal is a powerful, forward-moving striker whose actual striking skill he rates below average, with real submission-chasing BJJ once she gets on top. He says her cardio is a real liability and notes her prior win over a fighter named Perez was closer to a loss that got overturned on a disqualification.

names Pascual the pick twice but says he personally 'would pass' and frames it as a degenerate-bettor pick only

He is openly skeptical she belongs in the UFC at all, saying he does not know why she was brought in. He credits her with decent (board-matching) Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, limited to a close-range body-lock takedown and top or back-control work once there, but says her 5-0 run came against very low competition and includes a win by disqualification rather than a finish.
