JINH YU FREY VS GLORIA DE PAULA LOWDOWN
The former atomweight Invicta champion Jinh Yu Frey (9-6) is desperate for her first UFC win after losing her first two bouts. She entered the UFC after beating Ashley Cummins for the Invicta title but was stripped due to missing weight and the misery continued on her debut getting submitted by Kay Hansen in June last year. She then took on Loma Lookboonmee three months later and got out struck in a unanimous decision.
Gloria de Paula (5-2) makes her debut after impressing on the Contender Series. She got the opportunity with only four wins on the regional scene but earnt a unanimous decision over Pauline Macias for a chance in the big time.
JINH YU FREY VS GLORIA DE PAULA PREDICTION
De Paula has an unimpressive record, but she has a lot of potential. She is a very dangerous striker who can grapple and put on a very mature performance against Macias fending off the takedown attempts and against Yu Frey she will most likely need a similar game plan.
Yu Frey is a strong grappler and considering de Paula’s threat on the feet, she is expected to go for the takedown and get the fight to the floor. However, de Paula is strong and offensive in the clinch with knees and is expected to keep the fight on the feet and leverage her size, reach and technical striking advantage to earn a decision at least.
