KAY HANSEN VS CORY MCKENNA LOWDOWN
Kay Hansen (7-3) started her career fighting for Invicta and has hovered between strawweight and flyweight amassing some great experience. She has a lot of potential and got her UFC career up and running with the biggest win by submitting Jinh Yu Frey back in June. This stretched her streak to three after submitting Nicole Caliari and outpointing Liana Pirosin.
Another prospect from Wales, Cory McKenna (5-1) makes her debut with a fledgling record but turned professional after winning all seven of her amateur fights. Her sole loss came in her third fight, but it was a very close split decision with Micol DiSegni. She went on to finish her next two fights (all for Cage Warriors) to earn the opportunity on Dana White’s Contender Series three months ago and she bagged the unanimous decision over Crystal Demopoulos to get this spot on the big stage.
KAY HANSEN VS CORY MCKENNA PREDICTION
Both ladies are 21 but are very experienced for their age. They have their promising careers ahead of them and they clash hoping an impressive win will fast-track them up the strawweight division.
Hansen has a five-inch reach advantage over McKenna, but she is likely to have a game plan of shooting in for the takedown early, maintaining position and setting up submission attempts. She is a very strong wrestler making her the heavy favourite, but McKenna is a good grappler herself and she will make it a very tough night for Hansen.
A decision for Hansen is most likely but do not be surprised if we see an upset with a submission. McKenna has great jiu-jitsu and her well-rounded skill sets are only getting sharper training at Team Alpha Male and with Olympian wrestler Sara McMann.
Prediction: Hansen via Decision
