DIANA BELBITA VS GLORIA DE PAULA LOWDOWN
Diana Belbita (14-6) finally got her first UFC win back in July last year. She dropped down to strawweight and took on Hannah Goldy and earnt a classy unanimous decision swaying the judges with her striking. She looked much better at 115 lbs as she struggled against the girls at flyweight losing a unanimous decision to Molly McCann (2019) on her debut and getting submitted by Liana Jojua (2020).
Gloria de Paula (5-4) has experienced to same start to her UFC career to damage her young record. She earnt a unanimous decision on the Contender Series to earn the call-up, but she lost a unanimous decision to Jinh Yu Frey (2021) on her debut and then ate Cheyanne Vlismas’ (2021) head kick leading to the first knockout loss of her career.
DIANA BELBITA VS GLORIA DE PAULA PREDICTION
This should be a very exciting scrap as both fighters are aggressive and exciting strikers. Belbita has an accomplished background in kickboxing, karate and kempo and de Paula Muay Thai and we can expect to see all their skills here. Belbita is the slightly bigger woman, but de Paula packs more in her punches and kicks.
Belbita may have the grappling advantage with four submissions under her belt, but we expect the majority of this fight to be duked out on the feet. As the odds suggest, this is very tough to call and we are leaning towards to Belbita. What we are confident in is that this will be a fun fight.
