ELISE REED VS MELISSA MARTINEZ LOWDOWN
Fighting out of Princeton, New Jersey, Elise Reed (5-2) will be itching to get back in the win column this weekend. Currently 3-2 in her last five outings, Reed is coming off of a defeat to Sam Hughes. In her fourth UFC fight, Reed will be hoping to pick up her second win in MMA’s biggest promotion.
As for Reed’s opponent this weekend, Melissa Martinez (7-0) will be making her UFC debut this weekend. Many will be anticipating what she will bring to the UFC octagon. Coming off of a win against Desiree Yanez back in 2019, fight cancellations has been a big reason as to why fans haven’t been able to see Martinez in the octagon.
ELISE REED VS MELISSA MARTINEZ PREDICTION
Heading into this weekend’s strawweight outing, despite Reed having the height advantage, Martinez will have the edge in reach.
It will certainly be intriguing to see how this fight plays out this weekend. Reed has the potential to cause an upset this weekend. Since her last outing, Martinez has been focusing on her stand up game. Elise does not have the wrestling ability to catch Martinez off guard. Therefore, from the off, we suspect that Martinez will look to use her power and rip the leg and land several heavy blows.
