Nicolle Caliari

Picked with an explicit non-conviction framing -- the analyst says he isn't confident on either side of this fight.

Solid striker with active footwork and combinations that blend punches and kicks -- she tends to start cautiously, feeling out the fight before her volume noticeably ramps up in later rounds, a pattern that has repeated across her career. Likely the superior grappler in this matchup, particularly when pinning opponents against the cage, where she racks up meaningful control time. Her takedown defense is a soft spot and she can be pinned herself, though that shouldn't matter much given her opponent rarely shoots. Her clearest path to victory is pressing to the cage, chaining into trips, and hunting submissions from there -- an approach that lines up directly with a genuine weakness in her opponent's game.
