Erin Blanchfield favored — picked against Molly McCann lean UFC 281 · November 8, 2022
strikinggood
The analyst treats McCann as live but the clear underdog, saying a knockout is her most realistic path rather than out-pointing her opponent.
McCann's game is built on heavier, more rugged boxing than her opponent's, real one-punch power including a finish-capable spinning elbow, and a notable ability to stay composed and keep firing back even after getting rocked herself. Her forward pressure is her main tool, but committing to it that hard tends to leave her defense thin against a takedown, and her most realistic route to winning this fight is a finish rather than out-pointing a superior grappler over three rounds.
