We can anticipate that this fight will be close and decided by a very narrow margin because both competitors will be looking to improve on their previous performances, which were both regarded as subpar. Although I anticipate that both competitors will have healed from their most recent bouts, I also anticipate that they will both be strong here and that they should be at their best. Despite her extensive professional mixed martial arts (MMA) track record, the fact that Ailin Perez is the betting favorite to win this match does not sway my opinion in any way. For this reason, I'm pulling for seasoned competitor Ashlee Evans-Smith, who, thanks to her expertise, should be able to squeak out a victory. While I anticipate that this will be a drawn-out battle, it is also anticipated that it will go the distance.
