Dione Barbosa favored — picked against Anna Melisano clear UFC Fight Night: Du Plessis vs Usman · July 12, 2026
strikinggood grapplingdecent

Picked against, though the analyst credits her as a genuinely good striker facing a tough draw rather than a weak opponent.

Making the walk up from a Ultimate Fighter run at strawweight where she was eliminated in a tough first-round matchup. A good striker, tall and lanky for the weight, who uses that range well with good long straight punches and good combinations and volume, though some of that cleanness slips when she's pressed and forced to fight moving backward. Decent grappling with pretty good takedown defense and good ground strikes once on top; she avoids sitting passively in guard, which helps against a submission-heavy opponent.
