vs Jacqueline Cavalcanti coinflip UFC Fight Night: Gane vs Spivac Full Card Breakdown, Predictions, & Analysis (UFC Paris) · August 30, 2023
strikinggood

Names Cavalcanti as the winner but also objects to how wide the line is and tells viewers to skip the bet entirely -- a named winner paired with an explicit stay-away instruction on the wager caps confidence at coinflip.

A good, high-volume striker who works the body with kicks and knees and has a serviceable boxing mix, though her defense is thin -- she lacks head movement and absorbs volume because of it. She controls range by bullying opponents to the cage but is not good off her back once held down; a history of fading in fights is partly attributed to a difficult weight cut.

StrengthHigh-volume striking, works the body with kicks/knees
StrengthGood cage pressure/push
StrengthEnough power to be felt, though not a knockout artist
WeaknessLacks head movement, absorbs volume defensively
WeaknessTakedown defense is not the best
WeaknessNot good off her back once held down

vs Josiane Nunes coinflip UFC 283: Teixeira vs. Hill · January 18, 2023 · 1 read since
strikingvery good

Same bout grade as the opponent's row: the pick of the other corner is a slight, unconfident one made alongside a decision not to bet the fight.

The much bigger, older fighter with a large height and reach edge. The analyst sees her as a very good striker who can hit from well outside her opponent's range, but without much power in individual shots. Neither woman is regarded as a grappler. He still goes narrowly to the other side, calling it a pick without conviction.

StrengthLarge height and reach advantage
StrengthVery good striking
StrengthAble to strike from a distance her opponent cannot answer
WeaknessNot much power in each shot
WeaknessOlder than the opponent by several years
WeaknessNo grappling to fall back on
