Angelo Bodetti Expert Hesitant picked Oct 20, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Livinha Souza

Angelo sees this as a tough fight between two similar fighters. He notes that Souza likely has a striking advantage while Randa has the grappling edge, but neither is good off their back. He ultimately sides with Souza because he thinks she can be the bully and get on top, but he's not confident and won't bet on her at -300.

won't bet on Souza at -300; likes the more/more on the strike line (over 73.5 combined strikes)

He expects the fight to play out on the mat where Souza can control and win a decision. However, he admits low confidence due to both fighters' low level and recommends no bet on this fight.

Emily Ducote

Paul picks Ducote, citing her wrestling background, BJJ black belt, and superior striking. He notes that Yoder has poor wrestling and striking, and that Ducote can stuff takedowns and outbox her. Paul expects a dominant decision win for Ducote.

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Oct 10, 2023 (4 days before fight)
Emily Ducote

The MMA Guru picks Emily Ducote over Ashley Yoder, citing Yoder's poor record (8-8 in UFC, on a 2-fight losing streak, lost 4 of last 5) and long layoff of over two years. He acknowledges Ducote is also on a losing streak but notes she fought tougher competition (Angela Hill, Lupita Godinez) and is younger. He dismisses the matchup as a question, implying Ducote should win easily.

"obviously gonna have to go with Emily dakot here over Ashley Yoda Ashley Yoda is 8 and eight in the UFC on a two- fight losing streak"

Ashley Yoder

Big Brady picks Ashley Yoder, citing her size advantage and higher volume. He notes that Frey throws very few strikes (averaging 24-26 per fight) and that Yoder can win by simply being more active. He also thinks Yoder's grappling could be effective. However, he calls it an ugly fight and is not highly confident.

Ashley Yoder

Cody picks Ashley Yoder, believing her wrestling and top control will be the difference. He notes that Frey has poor takedown defense and Yoder should be able to secure takedowns and control the fight. However, he is not fully confident because Yoder's striking is lacking and if she cannot get takedowns, she could lose a low-volume striking match. He calls it a 'dog or pass' spot.

"i think that yoder does get the takedowns i think you you watch that k hanson fight and and those takedowns should be there for a wrestler of yoder's ability"

Daniel Levi Expert Hesitant picked Jul 31, 2021 (fight day)
Ashley Yoder

Levi notes that he doesn't often recommend backing Ashley Yoder as a favorite, but here she is the bigger and better grappler. He believes Yoder can get takedowns more comfortably and spend time on top, edging out a competitive decision. However, he warns that if Yoder decides to test her stand-up, Frey could have success, as Yoder's striking is not as dangerous as de Paula's. Levi credits Frey for beating de Paula but thinks Yoder's grappling-heavy approach should secure the win.

"I think that she can get the takedowns a little bit more comfortably here you know spend a little bit more time on top"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Jul 30, 2021 (1 day before fight)
Jinh Yu Frey

Frey has a bounce-back win over de Paula and should have success if she grapples with Yoder. Yoder is a black belt but lacks volume and strength. Frey's striking is adequate, and she can win scrambles. However, Frey is a natural 105er moving up, which is a concern. The fight likely goes to decision, and Frey at plus money is the side.

Frey by decision +200

However, he is concerned about Yoder's recent regression and the fact that this fight likely goes to decision, making judging a factor. He is not confident enough to bet but leans Yoder.

He notes Hill has improved her takedown defense, stuffing takedowns from Michelle Waterson and Claudia Gadelha.

He expects a split decision and notes that Ashley Yoder could potentially submit Hill if she gets on top.

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Aug 14, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Livinha Souza

Daniel Levi picks Livinha Souza to win. He believes Souza is the tougher fighter and will win the extra scrambles when both are fatigued. He notes that Yoder has a history of folding in gritty fights and doesn't utilize her length well. He also mentions that Souza has better boxing and jiu-jitsu, and that Yoder's path to victory requires a perfect performance.

Souza by decision or submission; Yoder's toughness is questionable; Souza's intensity is key
"i'm gonna take the more intense person and i'm gonna take the uh you know the person where i do feel like uh lavinia is slightly the better black belt"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Aug 13, 2020 (2 days before fight)
