Betting on Valentina Shevchenko (-400<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

MMA Record: 20-3-0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Shevchenko has been a champ for a while. Since winning the women\u2019s flyweight title in 2018 by defeating Joanna Jedrzejczyk, Shevchenko has defended the belt four times. The last one was in November 2020, when he scored a unanimous decision win over Jennifer Maia. Shevchenko is a Muay Thai practitioner, who\u2019ll surely use her reach advantages against Andrade. Shevchenko will come into the fight with a five-inch reach advantage and a three-inch leg reach advantage.\u00a0 He\u2019s also taller by four inches than Andrade. Shevchenko can use all those to stave off Andrade\u2019s attacks while dealing clean blows of her own whenever she wants to initiate the action and when countering.\u00a0 She has six knockout wins and has been knocked out just once so far in her career. Shevchenko is also not afraid to mix it up on the ground. After all, she has seven submission wins against zero submission losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Betting on Jessica Andrade (+300<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

MMA Record: 21-8-0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Andrade knows that Shevchenko\u2019s striking, particularly her kicks, is the champion\u2019s greatest strength, but she\u2019s not going to back down. During an interview with Globo Esporte, Andrade praised Shevchenko\u2019s striking, but said that her aggressiveness will cause more trouble for the champion. Andrade also mentioned that she\u2019s willing to take shots since she doesn\u2019t \u201cfeel them.\u201d Andrade is always pushing forward, looking to put the pressure on her opponents, but this time, she will have to be extra careful because of Shevchenko\u2019s length and stand-up skills. However, Andrade has always fought that way. She\u2019s willing to take two shots just to get a clean one in. In fact, she is absorbing 5.28 significant strikes per minute while landing 6.55. Andrade could look to take Shevchenko down often in this fight, where she can negate Shevchenko\u2019s length while scoring points with her ground-and-pound game. Andraede is averaging 3.21 takedowns per 15 minutes and has a 7-2 submission record.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n
