Premium Pick

30-year old Ji Yeon Kim is 3-2 in the UFC. She's all about punching, with zero takedowns ever attempted in UFC. She will come with 4.49 strikes per minute, but at a poor accuracy rate of 33%. And she absorbs a lot of punishment, taking 4.74 strikes per minute. Four of her last five fights have gone the distance (2-2 record), so she will be going for the knockout. That's a concern here as Alexa Grasso is outstanding defensively with nine of her last 11 bouts going the distance. She went 7-2 in those fights when it went to the judges. The 27-year old Grasso is a more active fighter, averaging 5.25 strikes per minute rate with a better strike ratio (41%). Grasso is also better defensively (3.61 strikes absorbed), has faced better competition, and only struggles against strong wrestlers, which Kim is not. Take Alexa Grasso to win the fight.
