Expert Picks (8)
Angelo picks Lara Procópio, emphasizing her technical jiu-jitsu and high fight IQ. He compares Casey O'Neill to Paige VanZant, athletic but not technical. He believes Procópio can submit O'Neill or control her on the ground. He has Procópio in his DraftKings lineup and placed a bet on her to win by stoppage with decision no action.
Big Brady favors Procópio due to her well-rounded skills, better striking volume, superior cardio, and ground game. He notes O'Neill's striking defense is poor and her win over Shannon Dobson is overrated because Dobson had zero takedown defense. He expects Procópio to mix takedowns and win a decision.
Cody picks Procópio, citing her striking volume, grappling, and durability. He notes O'Neill's limited striking and reliance on takedowns, which Procópio can defend. Cody believes Procópio's well-rounded game will be too much for the undefeated but inexperienced O'Neill.
Daniel Levi picks Lara Procópio, expecting her to dominate the majority of the fight. He notes that she is a Nova União black belt with good performances against Carol Rosa and Molly McCann. However, he warns that she must be careful of O'Neill's submission attempts, as Molly McCann had a deep armbar on her. He predicts a decision win for Procópio.
Jacob picks Casey O'Neill, citing her pressure and toughness. He worries about O'Neill's grappling defense if she ends up on her back, but thinks she can win a decision. He does not have her in his lineup and would not bet on the fight. He sees it as a wrestling match that could go either way.
The host leans with Casey O'Neill as a slight underdog, citing her aggression, strength, and improving skills at Extreme Couture. He believes O'Neill's forward pressure and top control will be key, as Procópio may struggle to get takedowns. He notes O'Neill's ground-and-pound and active top game, while Procópio is a black belt but less threatening off her back. He predicts a decision win but with low conviction, acknowledging respected analysts are on Procópio.
Paul picks Procópio, noting her solid grappling and game plan against Molly McCann. He is concerned about O'Neill's grappling but believes Procópio's experience and skills will prevail.
The MMA Guru picks Casey O'Neill to win by unanimous decision (29-28). He expects Lara Procópio to have success on the feet in the first round, but O'Neill's grappling and size advantage will take over in the later rounds. He notes O'Neill's youth (23) and undefeated record (6-0) as factors. He predicts a takedown at the end of round one, then O'Neill dominating on top in rounds two and three, possibly close to a 10-8 in the third.

Expert Picks (4)
Big Brady picks the underdog Lara Procópio, believing she has multiple paths to victory. He notes that Procópio is a black belt in BJJ and will have a massive grappling advantage if the fight goes to the mat. He also thinks the striking is close and that Molly McCann may be overrated, as her wins have come against lower-level competition. He predicts a decision win, possibly a submission.
Daniel Levi picks Molly McCann, believing she lands harder shots and has better boxing. He acknowledges Procópio's jiu-jitsu credentials but hasn't seen them translate to MMA. He notes McCann's takedown ability and thinks she can win a decision if she avoids submissions.
Procópio is a black belt in jiu-jitsu and should have a significant grappling advantage. McCann has poor takedown defense (33%) and has been submitted before. Procópio's takedowns are effective when she sets them up, unlike the desperation shots she threw against Rosa. She can hold her own on the feet enough to get the fight to the ground. At plus money, this is a value play. I expect Procópio to get a submission in the first or second round.
The MMA Guru picks the underdog Lara Procópio, acknowledging the risk. He likes her reach advantage and technique, and thinks she can stuff takedowns. He notes Molly McCann's takedowns lack control. He predicts a close split decision win for Procópio, saying the odds should be 50-50.

Play-by-Play
View on SherdogRound 1
Kicking off this early morning of fights in China is a tilt in the women's bantamweight division between two Brazilian debutants Rosa (11-3, 0-0 UFC) and Procopio (6-0, 0-0 UFC). In charge of the Octagon is referee Thomas Fann. Procopio immediately starts out with a few low leg kicks, while Rosa tries to throw jabs back at her opponent. Looking for more low kicks, Procopio gets countered coming in. The two trade punches and Rosa already shows a little damage by her nose early. Rosa wings a right hand in a combination that partially scores, and Procopio responds with a takedown attempt that is rebuffed. Rosa scores a few effective one-two combinations punctuated by a leg kick, as Procopio continues to throw the leg kick that has also reddened up her foe' lead leg. Trading strikes, Rosa appears to be gaining the advantage, as each of her combinations are accurate and her own leg kick is doing some work. Procopio closes the distance to slow down the constant offense of Rosa, but Rosa breaks free and continues her success at range. Standing in the pocket and trading, striking defense is not nearly as important to these two ladies as they crack each other with sharp shots. Procopio sits down on a few punches that give Rosa pause briefly, and Rosa recovers and throws a slapping leg kick that sends Procopio's leg swinging backwards. Procopio advances with a one-two, and presses forward into a clinch, but she is unable to do anything with it as the round ends.

Round 2
Rosa starts off with the same aggression that did her well in the opening round, landing a right hand that snaps the head back of her fellow countrywoman. Procopio leans on more leg kicks, which are possibly her most effective strikes of the fight so far. Procopio blitzes forward with a right hook and a takedown attempt, but is stuffed yet again as Rosa makes her pay with a low kick. Although Procopio pulls into a clinch in the center of the cage, it is Rosa that makes use of it as she fires off a few short knees that make Procopio break off. Winging strikes at Procopio, Rosa misses with them and Procopio returns fire with a few of her own, before trying for a clinch and then falling to her back in an effort to pull the fight to the ground. Rosa wants nothing to do with it, and backs away to land a stinging right hand. Procopio falls down to her back once more and Rosa backs off to throw a few leg kicks before Fann stands them up. Punch for punch, the two are biting down on their mouthpieces, throwing and connecting with big hooks. The pace is furious as they swing until the horn ends the second stanza.

Round 3
The third round begins much to the delight of the crowd, and Rosa comes out much like the first two with jabs and low kicks. Procopio commits to her strikes a little more, sitting down on power right hands that score on her foe. They appear to be taking turns inside the cage, with one scoring a three-punch combination and the other coming right back. Rosa blasts Procopio with a huge right hand that drops her, but Rosa decides not to follow up as Procopio scoots after her. Procopio gets back to her feet and charges forward, but Rosa is ready and grabs a Thai clinch, where she slams a few knees to the midsection of the unbeaten fighter. In this close fight, it appears one finally is starting to gain an advantage, as Procopio appears to be tiring a little. Rosa breaks up her striking with a few long punches to the body, and then pops Procopio to the body with another knee. Procopio counters a leg kick with a stiff overhand right, and then tries for a takedown but just cannot get Rosa to the canvas. Shooting from a distance, Rosa easily evades it and backs off. Rosa pumps out a right jab that disrupts Procopio's attempts to set up a looping combination, and chases her adversary down as the exciting fight comes to a close.
