Alice Pereira

Angelo picks Alice Pereira, impressed by her striking and range management. He notes that Hailey Cowan relies on athleticism but lacks technical skills and hasn't improved. He believes Pereira will stay safe, manage range, and finally get her first UFC win. He is surprised the odds are close.

Big Brady picks Hailey Cowan as an underdog. He is unimpressed with Alice Pereira, noting she fought in shopping malls and lost to Montserrat Rendon. He thinks Cowan is physically strong and can win by cage pushing and takedowns, possibly by decision. He believes the wrong fighter is favored.

Cody picks Pereira, citing her length, striking, and youth. He expects her to outwork Cowan on the feet and win a decision, as Cowan is older and less skilled.

Connor leans toward Cowan, noting that Pereira has bad footwork and no grappling, and Cowan's wrestling could be effective. He mentions that if Pereira weren't so liable to be dragged out of the fight she needs, he might pick her, but Cowan's grinding style should work.

James leans toward Alice Pereira, citing her youth, height, and striking power. He believes she can win on the feet, but acknowledges Cowan's wrestling advantage could lead to takedowns and control. He calls it an ugly fight and predicts a decision win for Pereira, but is not confident and passes on betting.

The host picks Pereira but with very low confidence, calling it a horrible fight. He notes Pereira's raw potential and recklessness, while Cowan is 0-2 in the UFC and relies on strength. He expects Pereira to land damage and win by decision, but warns against betting either fighter.

Paul leans towards Cowan or pass, noting Pereira's lack of experience and questionable UFC readiness. He thinks Cowan could win by clinch control and takedowns.

The MMA Guru picks Alice Pereira despite her loss in her debut, noting she is only 20 years old with promise. He dismisses Hailey Cowan as a fighter who should not be in the UFC, implying Pereira's youth and potential outweigh Cowan's experience.

Angelo buys into the hype on Alice, a 19-year-old striker with good speed, power, and takedown defense. He notes she is a hyped prospect and the UFC is promoting her heavily. However, he is concerned about her limited MMA experience and the matchup against a grappler with takedowns. He says he would pick Montserrat if he hadn't watched her get out-struck despite getting takedowns in her last fight. He says he cannot bet here.

Big Brady picks Rendon because she has UFC experience and can wrestle/grapple, while Pereira is a complete unknown with poor competition. However, he calls it a '1-800 gambler matchup' and says he would never bet on it. He notes Pereira looked good but only against mall security-level opponents.

Pereira is seen as a promising prospect despite being young and wild. The host expects her to fend off Rendon's grappling and use her power to win by knockout, making a dominant statement in her UFC debut.
