UFC Women's Strawweight bout: Marina Rodriguez vs. Yan Xiaonan 08:00 PM ET
This is definitely one of my favorite bouts on this card because both of these women are exceptional in their own ways and it's hard to dislike them as fighters.
Rodriguez has a very heavy and sharp jab that can make it difficult for her opponents to gauge their range. However, I do think Xiaonan will have the speed and agility advantage in this.
I think this will stay standing. Xiaonan should be able to fluster Marina with a good combo of punches, but Marina is durable and, and again, very powerful. And that's the thing, when I first saw this matchup I was thinking I should take Rodriguez by points. But the more I think about it, I think Xiaonan is durable enough to absorb Rodriguez's jabs and fluster her with combos; she will simply outstrike her at the cards.
I honestly expected closer odds than whats available right now, so I'll gladly grab the dog odds with Xiaonan.
Pick: Yan Xiaonan +205
