Picked against with an explicit non-conviction framing -- the analyst says he doesn't feel strongly on either side of this fight.

Her stand-up is a genuine asset, not a liability -- guard on the feet is shaky, but her kicking is excellent, working all levels with strong balance and an unusual knack for throwing a second kick off the same leg before resetting it, catching opponents off guard since they aren't braced for the follow-up. She strings punches and kicks together well and switches stances freely, which makes her difficult to pin down; the issue only surfaces once an opponent manages to close that distance, exposing thinner defense. The same pattern shows up on the mat -- her takedown defense is shaky and she can be controlled once grounded, and her own top game isn't much better. She stays busy off her back, though rarely to great effect.

Strengthexcellent kicking across all levels, plus an unusual double-kick trick that catches opponents unprepared
Strengthstrong combination work, switches stances, difficult to line up
Weaknessdefense thins out once an opponent closes the distance
Weaknessshaky takedown defense, can be controlled once grounded
