Alice Ardelean

Picked on the striking, with the analyst noting her recent trajectory is upward while her opponent's is downward.

Skilled striker who brings real volume, varied combinations, and a smooth blend of punches and kicks, backed by fair power -- there's plenty to appreciate in her stand-up. One notable factor works against her that has nothing to do with skill: her face marks up visibly more than most fighters' even from comparable shots, which colors how observers score rounds she may actually be winning. She's a solid enough grappler too -- her throws are effective and her ground-and-pound is strong when she gets on top; a capable MMA grappler overall, even if a pure jiu-jitsu specialist would likely out-grapple her on the mat alone.
