Picked against in a fight the analyst calls close and competitive, wouldn't be surprised either way.

Strikes well, stringing together legitimately effective combinations that blend hands and legs, with her offense built mostly around kicks -- leg kicks and side kicks in particular. The clear downside is a tendency to retreat frequently, which hurts her on the judges' cards even in rounds where she isn't actually taking damage. Neither her takedown defense nor her submission defense is strong -- she's previously been finished by an armbar that, in the analyst's view, was defensible.
