Dione Barbosa favored — picked against Melissa Gatto clear UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs Duncan · March 29, 2026
Picked against clearly, with the analyst saying working from the back specifically isn't viable against an opponent with this level of jiu-jitsu credential.
Striking is passable and carries a bit of pop, but the standout tool is a strong kicking arsenal -- clearly her most dangerous weapon standing, without much else notable there. Jiu-jitsu is legitimate, a solid grappling base with an actively hunted submission game, mostly worked from bottom position. Genuinely dangerous from there, but that also means she's content to stay on her back, largely because she lacks the open-mat takedowns needed to dictate where the fight happens on her own terms. Takedown defense is a weak point as well.
