Luana Carolina

Angelo is surprised that Luana Carolina is a plus-money underdog, as he believes she is the better striker with solid takedown defense and clinch work. He notes that Lucie Pudilová has poor takedown defense and is not the better wrestler or striker. He has placed a half-unit bet on Luana at plus money, expecting the line to move.

Luana Carolina

Cody picks Carolina, highlighting her better competition, volume, and ability to defend takedowns. He notes Pudilová's poor takedown accuracy and that she struggles when taken down. He thinks Carolina will win with damage in the clinch and on the ground, and that judges will favor her output.

"She's the player for me this week."

Luana Carolina

Daniel Vreeland picks Luana Carolina, citing Pudilová's poor record with judges and her increased hesitancy. He notes Carolina's Muay Thai background and recent submission win. Vreeland expects a kickboxing match that goes to decision, with Carolina getting the nod.

"I see it going all three and uh Lana is going to get the decision here the judges hate uh the judges AB absolutely hate Lucia pudova"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Jul 17, 2024 (3 days before fight)
Lucie Pudilová

Pudilová is a slight underdog at +100. She has improved her grappling since her first UFC stint and can use her striking to set up takedowns, unlike Stoliarenko who pulls guard. Pudilová's aggressiveness and ability to mix in takedowns should keep Carolina uncomfortable at distance. I think Pudilová is the better overall fighter and can grind out a decision win.

"I do think that pudova is the better overall fighter and optically speaking I think she can make it look better for the judges so give me pudilova and Pila by decision"
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Jul 17, 2024 (3 days before fight)
Luana Carolina

"I think it's Carolina all day to be perfectly honest."

Luana Carolina

The MMA Guru picks Luana Carolina, calling Lucie Pudilová 'garbage'. He notes Carolina stuffed takedowns from Lupita Godinez, who has good wrestling, and believes Carolina can out-grapple or out-strike Pudilová. He compares Pudilová's win over Yanan Wu unfavorably to Carolina's similar style, and cites Carolina's size and reach advantage.

"I'm going to go with Lanna Carolina because uh Lucy pyo's garbage"

Ailín Pérez

Big Brady finds Perez's nickname change to 'Nurmagomedov' hilarious but thinks she earned it with 10 takedowns in her last fight. He sees Perez as a bully who will come forward, push Pudilová against the cage, and take her down repeatedly. He notes Pudilová has better striking but has struggled with takedowns and control in the past. He believes the odds flip is correct and Perez should be the favorite, winning a grinding decision.

"I think Perez goes out there and implements that wrestling heavy game plan wins a a grinding based decision"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Nov 17, 2023 (1 day before fight)
Lucie Pudilová

Pudilová has improved her grappling significantly since her first UFC stint, now using it offensively. She is the cleaner striker and can cut up Pérez on the feet. Even on the ground, Pudilová can throw up submissions and reverse positions. Pérez relies on strength and bullying, which may not work against a technically better grappler like Pudilová. Pudilová wins by decision.

"I'm actually going to lean with pudova to win this fight I think she batters uh Perez throughout this matchup I think she nullifies the control of Perez with her own damage and that will end up being the Difference …"

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Nov 14, 2023 (4 days before fight)
Lucie Pudilová

The MMA Guru picks Lucie Pudilová over Ailín Pérez, noting Pudilová's height and reach advantage as a rangier striker. He rates Pudilová's wins higher, including a close fight with Joselyne Edwards and a win over Yanan Wu, while criticizing Pérez's decision win over Ashley Evans-Smith as unimpressive. He believes Pudilová's improvement and range will be key if the fight stays standing, and doesn't see Pérez out-grappling her.

"I'm going to go with Lucy Pudilova... I think she'll have improved more, I think she's rangier taller, I reckon that's going to be a factor here if it ends up staying on the feet."

Joselyne Edwards (136.5: Missed Weight) vs. Lucie Pudilova
BETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Pudilova (-135), Edwards (+115)

Round 1
For the first time in six years to the day, the UFC is back in Kansas City, Missouri, with a Fight Night offering. In the building formerly known as the Sprint Center and now the T-Mobile Center, the promotion throws 14 fights in rapid succession at fans in the building and those watching on ESPN and ESPN+. Of note, the prelims will bring eight bouts in the span of three hours, so the pace should be higher. This presumably speedy slate of matches begins outside of normal weight categories, as Edwards (12-4, 3-2 UFC) missed weight ahead of her bantamweight bout with Pudilova (14-7, 3-5 UFC). The 137-pound catchweight affair will be overseen by referee Dwayne Bess, and there is no interest in a glove touch to start off the night. Instead, the ladies immediately begin to brawl, throwing hands in volume and tagging the other right out of the gate. One particular right hand from Edwards draws a telegraphed double-leg attempt from her opponent, and Edwards stuffs it and gets back up. Pudilova counters a leg kick with a right hand, and Edwards loads up on a pair of overhand rights in response. Pudilova scores a low kick and paws at her nose, which is already showing some damage from the few absorbed blows thus far. Pudilova surges forward and lifts Edwards off her feet to take her down to the mat, where she lands right in half guard. Pudilova controls her adversary, flattening her to the floor and not throwing much of note. A few punches to the rib cage do connect for Pudilova, who is dragged back to the guard when Edwards looks to buck her off. Pudilova is comfortable from this position as well, even with Edwards clutching both of her hands, so that she can posture up and drop down some decent ground-and-pound. Pudilova rains down hammerfists from high up until Edwards boots her off, and the Panamanian even gets off an upkick that stuns Pudilova momentarily. Instead of standing, Edwards remains on her back, and Pudilova adjusts her mouthguard and top and dives back down into the half guard. The boos begin to rain down from crowd, and this spurs Pudilova into action. Pudilova looks to pass to a dominant position, and Edwards turns to her side and slides out the back door to stand back up. Pudilova gives chase, and she swings her way into the clinch. The round closes as Edwards tries to toss her foe down.

Round 2
Pudilova advances calmly out of her corner, watching Edwards lob inaccurate bombs at her, until she rushes forward to close up. Edwards shuts down a takedown, and she makes Pudilova pay for it with multiple leg kicks. Pudilova’s offense stalls out while Edwards pecks at her with kicks, and she barely dodges a spinning back fist in time. Edwards sinks in a few body kicks, and Pudilova takes a moment after the second one lands. Pudilova ducks a few punches to pursue a double, and she drags “La Pantera” to the mat while simultaneously turning to land in side control. Pudilova grinds her elbow on Edwards’ face as she maintains heavy top control, with chest-to-chest pressure to keep Edwards flat on her back. Bess asks Pudilova to start working, as the action lulls. Pudilova drops down a few solid elbows on the cheek, and she moves to claim mount. As she does, Edwards flips over to her knees, and Pudilova does not fall off this time. Instead, Pudilova takes her back, where she gets in both hooks and threatens immediately with a rear-naked choke. Edwards fights the hands off from the first choke try, and she attempts to slip Pudilova off of her. Pudilova softens her up with a few punches, and Edwards keeps her stuck from trying anything with a two-on-one wrist lock. Edwards turns to her back, and Pudilova follows her and gets into mount. With 10 seconds to spare, Pudilova sits up and batters Edwards with vicious elbows until the horn saves the Panama native.

Round 3
The last round opens up with Edwards aiming heavy kicks to the calf and big overhand rights up top. Pudilova stays composed and does not walk into anything harmful, and she flicks out a few jabs to keep Edwards honest. Pudilova shoots in from afar for a double, and she gets stood up as she pushes Edwards to the fence. Edwards slowly muscles her around, but Pudilova breaks off and separates. “La Pantera” shoots for her own takedown, and Pudilova tosses it aside and throws out a few kicks. Edwards strikes with several kicks to the thigh and upper calf, and Pudilova intercepts one with a straight left hand. Edwards punches her way into a spinning back fist, and Pudilova retreats and blocks both strikes. Edwards continues to work on the lead leg with pitter-patter kicks, and she smacks Pudilova with a clean left. “Bullet” charges for a takedown, and Edwards stands her up and kicks her in the body with a spinning kick. Edwards circles away on the outside, countering the advancing Pudilova and landing effectively. Pudilova crashes the pocket briefly with an overhand right, and Edwards is met with a knee before she swings a right hand back. Pudilova slams Edwards in the face with a knee, and she level changes to grab hold of Edwards. Edwards turns around, and Pudilova drags her to the floor. Edwards springs back up instantly, and the two remain clinched up. Pudilova misses with an elbow on the break, and Edwards tags her with two right hands. Pudilova surges forward with a few punches, and they trade short shots until the final bell.

AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked Apr 9, 2023 (6 days before fight)
Joselyne Edwards

Angelo picks Joselyne Edwards based on her range management and volume striking. He notes that Edwards is a good kickboxer who uses range well, and her 63% takedown defense should ward off Pudilová's takedown attempts. He expects a boring fight but sees Edwards winning with volume and distance control. He is super confident in her but probably won't include her in a parlay.

Joselyne Edwards

Big Brady picks Joselyne Edwards as a dog, citing her striking volume and improved takedown defense. He doubts Lucie Pudilová's wrestling, which she only showed in her last fight, and doesn't trust her as a favorite. He expects Edwards to win by decision, but is not betting on the fight.

Connor Ruebusch Expert Hesitant picked Apr 13, 2023 (2 days before fight)
Lucie Pudilová

Connor picks Pudilová because he likes a newly controlled fighter who relies on her reach intelligently. He notes that Pudilová has takedowns and Edwards is a bad wrestler. He acknowledges that Edwards is powerful and the fight could get chaotic, but thinks Pudilová's experience in crazy fights will help.

"I think I'm gonna go with Putalova. I like a newly controlled fighter. I like a fighter who relies on her reach in like an intelligent way, i.e. jabbing."
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Apr 11, 2023 (4 days before fight)
Lucie Pudilová

Pudilová's improved grappling and BJJ will be key against Edwards, who struggles when taken down. Edwards relies on kicks and distance, but Pudilová is a good enough striker to close the distance and get takedowns. Pudilová's submission defense and top control should allow her to grind out a decision. She has evolved her game since returning to the UFC.

"I'm going to go with Lucy porilova here and I think she grinds this fight out on route to a decision victory."

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Apr 12, 2023 (3 days before fight)

Lucie Pudilová

The MMA Guru leans toward Lucie Pudilová, citing her improved grappling and overall development since her return to the UFC. He notes Edwards' striking volume but thinks Pudilová's X-factor of potentially using grappling could edge a close decision. He calls it a close fight and says the line is accurate.

ZA
Zane Simon Expert Hesitant picked Apr 13, 2023 (2 days before fight)
Joselyne Edwards

Zane picks Edwards because he hasn't seen Pudilová handle physical pushback well. He believes Edwards is tough and strong, and will land the bigger shots. He acknowledges that Edwards doesn't do enough work continually but thinks she'll land more damaging shots.

"I'm gonna take Edwards. I think that I have yet to see Putalova really prove that she can handle her physical pushback very well and turn that into a win."

Wu Yanan

Angelo picks Wu Yanan over Lucie Pudilová. He notes that Pudilová is a UFC vet on a second stint but had a four-fight losing skid before being cut. He believes Wu is genuinely better everywhere, with better striking and grappling, and that her losses were competitive against higher-level competition. However, he expresses caution about betting low-level women's MMA and says he might only bet if the odds move to plus money around +200.

Joselyne Edwards

Joselyne Edwards

Daniel Levi picks Joselyne Edwards for the upset, citing her striking power and potential. He notes Wu Yanan was dominated by Gina Mazany and Lauren Mueller, while Edwards has knockout ability. He acknowledges Edwards' wrestling is poor but believes her striking advantage will carry her.

"i'ma go with jocelyn for the upset just because i cannot justify uh laying chalk on woo yanan"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Jan 11, 2021 (5 days before fight)
Joselyne Edwards

Edwards is a well-rounded prospect with good striking, distance management, and offensive jiu-jitsu. She should have won her fight against Sarah Alpar, landing the better shots. Wu Yanan has improved her volume and confidence, but Edwards is more technical and has better kicks and combinations. The fight is likely to be a striking battle, and Edwards should land the cleaner shots. However, Wu's volume could sway judges, making this a risky bet. At plus money, Edwards offers value.

Edwards by decision is the pick; she is a solid prospect.
"i like abridged to win this fight i think she wins via decision"

Wu Yanan

The MMA Guru picks Wu Yanan over Joselyne Edwards, citing Edwards taking the fight on short notice after the holidays, which he believes will affect her conditioning. He also notes Wu's full camp and more experience. He predicts Wu will outgrind Edwards in the later rounds for a 30-27 decision.

"i'm gonna go with yananwu getting the job done she's got more experience she's had a full camp i think that'll be decider and she'll just outgrind uh jocelyn edwards in the last two rounds"

Angelo Bodetti Expert Lean picked Aug 14, 2022 (6 days before fight)
Wu Yanan

Angelo picks Wu Yanan over Lucie Pudilová. He notes that Pudilová is a UFC vet on a second stint but had a four-fight losing skid before being cut. He believes Wu is genuinely better everywhere, with better striking and grappling, and that her losses were competitive against higher-level competition. However, he expresses caution about betting low-level women's MMA and says he might only bet if the odds move to plus money around +200.

Might bet Wu Yanan if odds move to around +200.
"yananwu is genuinely better everywhere yes she's one and four in her last five but she's been fighting the higher level of competition"

Big Brady Expert Lean picked Aug 15, 2022 (5 days before fight)
Wu Yanan

Big Brady picks the underdog Wu Yanan. He sees the fight as extremely close on the feet, slightly favoring Lucie Pudilová, but notes that Wu Yanan has shown takedown ability in recent fights. He believes Wu Yanan can mix in a takedown to seal a round and win a close decision. He mentions that Pudilová has poor takedown defense and no answer when taken down. Brady is not confident but sees a sneaky path for Wu Yanan.

Wu Yanan by decision
"i'm gonna i'm gonna pick you know the dog here to win this one um you won't catch me catch me better now on this one but uh i'll say she goes in here on the feet it's close she she mixes into takedown"

Wu Yanan

Cody also picks Wu Yanan, agreeing with Paul that grappling will be key. He notes Pudilova's limited takedown defense and thinks Wu Yanan can take her down. He is not confident and says he won't bet it heavily.

"i'll join you on woo um just because of that yeah it'll be a lot more fun but i mean i'm not i'm not going to be batting that"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Aug 18, 2022 (2 days before fight)
Lucie Pudilová

Pudilová is the better striker with more power, but the fight is a toss-up. The host would only bet if Pudilová becomes plus money, and would then consider a small play on her by decision. He is not confident enough to bet at current odds.

Would consider Pudilová by decision (+110) if she becomes plus money.
"The only way i'd looked about this fight is if putilova actually becomes plus money."
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked Aug 17, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Wu Yanan

Paul picks Wu Yanan, citing her grappling edge and the fact that Pudilova has poor takedown defense. He notes it's a low-level women's MMA fight and expects grappling to be key. He admits he's not confident and calls it a 'dogger pass'.

"i think i gotta go with wu yannan on the basis of you know mid-level women's mma fight low-level women's mma fight grappling is probably going to end up being key here and she's got the grappling edge so"
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Hesitant picked Aug 20, 2022 (fight day)
Lucie Pudilová

The Guru initially forgot his pick and had to check, eventually settling on Lucie Pudilová by decision. He thinks she will minorly outstrike Yanan in every round and mix in takedowns at the end of rounds to secure them. He calls her very good and underrated, and believes her experience against decent competition will allow her to win 27-30 via unanimous decision.

Wins by unanimous decision 27-30
"i picked putilova okay we'll go uh lucy put it over then uh by decision 27"
