Expert Picks (9)
Angelo picks Ramona Pascual despite acknowledging she has lost previous picks. He notes Pascual is well-rounded and tough, with solid striking and takedown defense, but lacks cardio and elite skills. He questions why Vidal was signed, citing poor stand-up and takedowns, but admits Vidal could dominate if she gets takedowns. The pick is hesitant because he's been wrong on Pascual before.
Big Brady sees no reason for Vidal to be favored, calling this a low-level fight where neither fighter deserves to be the favorite. He notes Vidal's poor striking and questionable wins, while Pascual has UFC experience and better striking. However, he has no confidence in the pick and expects a greasy decision, acknowledging Vidal's submission threat from guard.
Cody picks Ramona Pascual, noting that Vidal's only win came via a sloppy heel hook at a very low level. He watched Vidal's fight against Eileen Perez, which was in a makeshift gym, and was unimpressed. Pascual has shown glimpses of improvement, getting three takedowns against Josiane Nunes and dropping Jocelyn Edwards with a body shot. At 135 pounds, Pascual may be more physical and have better Muay Thai and clinch work. Cody thinks Pascual is the better all-around fighter and is surprised she is the underdog.
Connor picks Vidal, noting that Pascual has never beaten anyone of note and is a dead end at 34. Vidal is younger and has room to grow, though her technique is raw. Connor acknowledges that Pascual has a better process but lacks the athleticism to execute.
Daniel Levi picks Ramona Pascual based on her UFC experience and success getting takedowns in her UFC fights. He admits he doesn't have much analysis for this low-level fight but goes with the underdog.
The host sees Vidal as overrated, noting her limited striking (mostly an overhand right) and reliance on grappling against weak competition. He highlights that Vidal's wins came against questionable opponents and she was losing on the feet in previous fights before getting takedowns. He believes Pascual has enough output and grappling to stay safe and grind out a decision, making the underdog line of +135 valuable.
Paul picks Pascual, noting that she opened at +200 and has since moved to +120. He has seen her Instagram and she looks more defined at 135. He thinks Vidal's performance against Perez was horrible and that Pascual has shown she can hang in there. He is not betting it heavily but picks Pascual for the show.
The MMA Guru picks Ramona Pascual as an underdog, citing her size advantage and experience against tougher competition. He notes that Tamires Vidal is unproven and lost to Karol Rosa, while Pascual trains at Syndicate MMA and has looked good against fighters like Josiane Nunes and Jocelyn Edwards. However, he admits uncertainty about Vidal's potential, making this a hesitant pick based on known factors.
Zane picks Vidal because she is more athletic and has finishing potential, while Pascual is slow and unathletic. Vidal's only loss is to a decent fighter, and she has beaten some opponents with wins. However, Zane notes that Vidal's striking is messy and she relies on overhands and takedowns.

View on SherdogBETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Edwards (-170), Pascual (+150)
Round 1
For the first time since the pandemic shut things down in 2020, the UFC is breaking the cycle of the U.S., Fight Island or London. This pay-per-view card, one that airs excruciatingly early for local Singapore crowds, will be posted up in the home of One Championship, in the very building One has made its home for the past couple years. It will do so with a fight card that may start slow but builds into something that could be quite special, and we begin with a rare women’s featherweight tilt. After losing her UFC debut in February, Pascual (6-3, 0-1 UFC) will try again in the division, this time meeting ex-bantamweight Edwards (10-4, 1-2 UFC) at 145 pounds. Finish rates of 80% or higher follow both women into this meeting, so judges hope to be out of the equation while referee John Sharp may be needed at a moment’s notice. The ladies do not touch gloves to open the night, and instead they would like to trade strikes early. Pascual begins with several slow low kicks, appearing to be more in search of range than to do damage. Edwards paws back with her hands in a half-hearted effort as well, and she reaches out with an overhand right that has considerably more mustard on it. Pascual responds with a heavier leg kick, and Edwards walks her down and smacks Pascual in the face several times. Pascual bounces off the wall and attempts to get her leg kicks going, only for Edwards to check one and give her pause. Edwards measures her with multiple front kicks, and she swarms her foe with looping punches that force Pascual to again ricochet off the fencing. Pascual looks to punch her way into a takedown try, and although she gets countered with a solid right hand, she does close the distance and tie Edwards up. The pink-haired Edwards does not want to stay in this position, and she shoves her opponent violently back to get the separation she seeks. Edwards has her own leg kick checked when she attempts one at range, and she does not appear concerned as she continues to toss them out while mixing them up with punches to the midsection. Edwards is able to keep the fighter from the Philippines at bay with repeated push kicks to the upper torso, and she marks up Pascual’s body with these kicks again and again. Edwards gets tagged with one single punch, but she does not slow with her high-volume approach that is more about touching than dealing serious damage. When Edwards goes for a side kick, Pascual bears down on her and pushes her to the wall. Edwards attempts to change things up with a trip of her own, and Pascual fights it off and backs off to belt Edwards in the midsection with a thudding kick. “La Pantera” lets out an audible grunt of pain as she doubles over from the blow, and Pascual sees she has done some damage and tries to finish the job with punches and knees. Edwards survives, blocks several of the oncoming shots, and retreats. As she does, Pascual kicks her in the head, and Edwards wobbles back to the cage. Pascual runs out of time before she can seek out the stoppage, as the horn sounds mid-combination.

Round 2
Edwards looks to start things off in the second frame with more of her volume-centric approach, partially in hopes of keeping Pascual off of her so that she can get the remainder of her wind back. Pascual pushes forward regardless of this, and she jams the Panamanian into the wire as she punches her. Edwards circles away and lets go with a four-punch combo, and the last one has the most significant impact of the bunch. Pascual pays it no mind as she strides forward headhunting rather than targeting the compromised midsection, and she slugs Edwards in the chops with two hooks. Edwards jabs the body with kicks with her toes extended, forcing Pascual to fight at the end of her foe’s kicks. Pascual reaches out with a left hook that glances off the chin, and Edwards shakes it off and keeps pawing with strikes. Pascual looks for a takedown, and Edwards sprawls or stuffs her with ease and keeps battering Pascual’s body. Edwards keeps her mouth open and has her hands low, but her kicks keep coming to disallow Pascual from her full-throated attacks. The kicks from Edwards are slowing, but they are effective at forcing Pascual to take a step back to avoid them. Edwards slams one kick to the outside of Pascual’s thigh, and her kicks are practically the only offense coming from either woman for a good stretch. Pascual swipes out with a left, but she is out of range thanks to Edwards’ kicks. Edwards adjusts her trajectory of kicks to turn some into oblique kicks, stomping down to the knee and giving Pascual a bit of pause. Pascual absorbs a few to power into a pair of punches, and Edwards is the sharper with a right hand counter. Pascual gets tired of taking these body kicks, latching on to one and throwing Edwards to the mat with seconds to spare. Instead of playing in the guard, Pascual lets her back up as the horn blares.

Round 3
Edwards decides to continue her work with light kicks to the body and knee, and these are pitter-patter shots that are barely stay-busy strikes with little-to-no impact on them. She sits down on a few, but they get blocked or checked respectively when she does. Pascual ignores the kicks so that she can crash forwards in pursuit of a single, and Edwards hacks at her with elbows that land on the spine, forcing a warning to come from Sharp. Edwards gets the proper leverage to buck Pascual off of her, and she breaks free so that she can resume her steady approach of kicks. Pascual shrugs a few off to bowl forward, and she gets caught with an uppercut on the way in but still manages to grab hold of a single. Edwards not only stops it in its tracks, but she strings together several punches to the head and body that draw a visible reaction from her foe. Edwards has a few solid kicks to the body slow Pascual, who appears stunned from the strikes. Edwards uses this opportunity to let go with an axe kick, but it is out of range. Pascual answers several kicks with one powerful one, and Edwards switches stances briefly. “La Pantera” crashes forward with a superwoman punch, and she dings Pascual with an uppercut. They toss out kicks at the same time, and Edwards answers with several more to all targets low and high. Pascual grabs a body kick so that she can trip Edwards down, but Edwards hops away on her other leg and snatches her foot back so that she gains space. Edwards then chops at her opponent, and kicks to the body open up punches to the head as Pascual reacts again. Edwards stands Pascual up when Pascual tries to take her down, and she strings together a few punches. Pascual darts forward for a desperation takedown that is nowhere close to the target, as Edwards shoves her away and marks her up with punches. They both trade high kicks, and the fight comes to a close. It could be a close one, depending on how judges score Edwards’ excellent volume compared to Pascual’s more powerful blows in the first two rounds.

Expert Picks (7)
Angelo picks Ramona Pascual as an underdog, citing her size advantage, durability, and improved grappling. He notes that Edwards is a good kickboxer but has poor takedown defense and lacks the power of Joselyn Nunes, whom Pascual survived. He believes Pascual can use her Muay Thai and pressure to get the fight to the ground and control it there.
Big Brady picks Ramona Pascual as an underdog to start the card. He notes that Joselyne Edwards has poor takedown defense (47%) and has been controlled for over 11 minutes in multiple fights. Pascual's path to victory is getting the fight to the mat, though her cardio is a concern. He predicts a decision win for Pascual.
Cody picks Pascual as an underdog, citing her size, grappling, and experience in Asia. He thinks Edwards is undersized at 145 and that Pascual can use her wrestling to control the fight. He notes Pascual's toughness and learning experience from the Nunes fight.
Daniel Levi picks Joselyne Edwards, believing she is the better striker and will score enough points standing to override any takedowns from Pascual. He views the fight as a dog or pass situation but officially picks Edwards. He is not confident due to Edwards' takedown defense issues.
Edwards is the much better striker and will be offensive off her back. Pascual will likely land takedowns but is inactive on top, and Edwards can catch her in a submission. Edwards' takedown defense is poor, but Pascual's lack of damage and Edwards' submission threat should lead to a finish. I like Edwards inside the distance or under 2.5 rounds.
Paul picks Edwards, citing her superior striking and speed. He thinks Pascual showed little in her debut and that Edwards' boxing will be too much. He expects Edwards to win by decision or TKO.
The MMA Guru leans towards Joselyne Edwards due to her superior experience and technical striking. He notes that Ramona Pascual showed toughness against Josian Nunes but took significant damage. He believes Edwards' reach advantage (70 inches vs 66 inches) and better striking will allow her to win on damage, outweighing any grappling control from Pascual. He expresses slight concern about Edwards' past grappling issues but thinks she will do well at featherweight.

Expert Picks (6)
Big Brady picks Josiane Nunes to win by first-round knockout. He notes Nunes has power and aggression, and that Pascual's competition has been very low level. However, he is hesitant because Pascual has improved training at Syndicate MMA and is much bigger. He also flags that Nunes has been taken down and gassed out in the past. He calls the fight 'sketchy' and says he doesn't know enough about Pascual to be confident.
Cody picks Nunes confidently, citing her pressure, power, and durability. He notes Pascual's low level of competition and poor takedown defense. Cody expects Nunes to win by knockout or decision, but hesitates due to women's MMA volatility.
Daniel Levi picks Josiane Nunes to win. He notes Nunes has one-hitter-quitter power rare for women's divisions, and that Pascual has not faced that level of competition. Levi acknowledges Pascual's size and ground game as potential threats, but believes Nunes' power and experience will be too much. He expects a spectacular finish.
The host leans with Pascual as an underdog, believing her grappling will be the key. He notes that Nunes has been taken down easily in the past and that Pascual should be able to drag the fight to the ground and control her there. However, he has concerns about Pascual's level of competition and is not confident enough to bet, but he considers the decision prop at +350.
Paul picks Nunes, noting her nuclear left hand and aggressive style. He believes Pascual is a warm body taking the fight on short notice and expects Nunes to finish her. Paul considered the knockout prop but found it juiced to -110.
The MMA Guru picks Josiane Nunes to win by first-round KO. He describes Nunes as a 'lab experiment' with monstrous power, noting her first-round KO of Bea Malecki and her regional knockouts. He believes Pascual is outmatched and that Nunes will land the KO blow early. He mentions that Pascual has been TKO'd before by ground and pound, and trusts Nunes' brutal hands to finish the fight in the first round.
