Shana Dobson
Daniel Levi is skeptical of Casey O'Neill's competition level, calling her opponents 'soccer moms' and noting she was knocked out twice in amateur fights. He believes Shana Dobson, despite her poor record, has faced much better competition and has more experience. Levi thinks Dobson's confidence from her last win could carry her, and he sees O'Neill as overhyped. He picks Dobson for the upset, but admits it wouldn't surprise him if O'Neill wins.
"i'm actually going to pick shayna dobson in this one i feel like this is a little bit too good to be true"

Mariya Agapova
Big Brady picks Mariya Agapova to win by first-round knockout. He sees no path to victory for Shana Dobson, who was knocked out in the first round by Priscila Cachoeira, a fighter not known for power. Agapova is a much better fighter with more upside, and Brady expects her to finish early. He is considering betting under 1.5 rounds or Agapova in round one.
Under 1.5 rounds; Agapova wins in round 1

Mariya Agapova
Daniel Levi picks Mariya Agapova to win by vicious finish, likely in the first round. He notes Agapova is a long, lefty striker with power and a Euro Joanna vibe, and that Shana Dobson has no business in the UFC, having been dominated in her last two fights. Levi expects Agapova to march Dobson down and finish her, possibly earning another $50k bonus. He jokes that the only question is whether it will be a head kick, body shot, or rear-naked choke.
finish, first round, $50k bonus
"i see agapova marching shayna dobson down and putting her in the ground so you know i'm gonna go with the acapulva to possibly get a her second 50g"

Mariya Agapova
Agapova is a massive favorite against Dobson, who is on a three-fight losing streak and below .500 in the UFC. Agapova has power, movement, and confidence, and should easily finish Dobson early. The best bet is Agapova inside the distance, likely by submission in the first round. Avoid parlaying her straight due to poor value.
Agapova inside the distance at -335; Agapova by submission at +165; under 1.5 rounds at -160.
"i think she goes out there maybe first round and gets dobson down and you know submits her"

Mariya Agapova
The MMA Guru picks Mariya Agapova to win by first-round finish, calling it a mismatch. He notes Agapova's dominance over Hannah Cifers and Dobson's weak competition (combined 4-4 record of her wins). He predicts a first-round TKO or submission within the first two minutes.

"maria agapova is gonna just molester inside one round"

View on SherdogShana Dobson vs. Priscila Cachoeira
Round 1
We kick off this somewhat earlier card in New Zealand with a women’s flyweight scrap between two women in dire need of a win. Dobson (3-3, 1-2 UFC) and Cachoeira (8-3, 0-3 UFC) have dropped their last five combined appearances inside the Octagon, and the referee for this streak-breaking bout -- barring a draw or no-contest -- will be Neil Swailes. Cachoeira comes out aggressively, stalking down Dobson while looking to time a right hand. She lands it, and the two engage in a quick flurry. The Brazilian tags her, so Dobson backs off.
Cachoeira keeps after her, and as she backs Dobson against the cage, “Pedrita” unloads an unexpectedly massive uppercut that clocks Dobson right on the jaw. In our imaginations, a man shouts “Toasty!” at the bottom right of the screen, and Swailes dives in to rescue the borderline-conscious Dobson.
Having notched her first win in the UFC in devastating and speedy fashion, Cachoeira collapses to the ground in tears, celebrating but letting out all of her emotions after overcoming the pressure of this potential pink slip bout.
The Official Result
Priscila Cachoeira def. Shana Dobson R1 0:40 via KO (Punch)

Priscila Cachoeira
Daniel Levi picks Priscila Cachoeira, arguing that she is tougher and has fought better competition. He notes that Shana Dobson lacks the mental fortitude for the UFC and has no business at this level. Levi believes Cachoeira's forward pressure and durability will be enough to get her first UFC win, possibly by landing bigger shots or mixing in takedowns.
"I think Cachoeira is tough enough to be in this company, so I think she'll get her first UFC win."
