Picked against, though the analyst credits a real chance to win by landing a single power shot or by successfully using a cage-push strategy after a failed takedown.
Likely the stronger grappler in the pairing, and no slouch on the feet either, carrying a genuine power advantage -- her flurries can land hard, but rushing in exposes her own thin defense, so the exchange could go either way: a stolen round off one clean shot, or a costly counter. On the mat she brings workable takedowns, solid control once on top, dependable takedown defense, and a smart wrinkle: turning a stuffed takedown directly into cage control, which shuts down an opponent's ability to move laterally, kick, or string combinations together. The flip side is that she herself is vulnerable to being pinned against the cage, and it's cost her fights in the past.
