JOSELYNE EDWARDS VS JI YEON KIM LOWDOWN
Currently 3-2 in her last five professional bouts, Joselyne Edwards (11-4) will be looking to make it back-to-back wins at UFC 277. Edwards is coming off of a decision victory against Ramona Pascual just over a month ago. Therefore, Joselyne is itching to keep to momentum going when she enters the octagon this weekend.
As for Edwards’ opponent this weekend, Ji Yeon Kim (9-5-2) is enduring a tough time at the moment. She hasn’t won a professional fight in nearly three years and is currently riding a three-fight losing streak. Her last defeat came against Priscila Cachoeira earlier this year. Another defeat could spell the end of her UFC journey.
JOSELYNE EDWARDS VS JI YEON KIM PREDICTION
Heading into this weekend’s bantamweight bout, Edwards will have the slight height advantage, but Kim has the edge in the reach department.
This fight will certainly be an intriguing match-up between two high-output strikers. Kim has had some unlucky decisions going against her in her career so far. We suspect that Joselyne will be the aggressor right from the first round as she will be hoping her volume will be enough to get the job done. However, if Kim can pick her moments carefully, she could cause a bit of an upset. In the end, though, Joselyne will have enough to get the edge on the scorecards.
