Jessica Andrade / Claudia Gadelha Fight won't go 3 round distance (+155)


I think this play holds a lot of value and is worth playing. Andrade has had issues with submission experts in the past and her style of striking could directly lead into wrestling and grappling exchanges. If this fight hits the floor like it should, Claudia will have a major advantage. Gadelha showed how elite her ground game is in her last fight submitting Karolina Kowalkiewicz via rear naked choke in the first round. IMO Claudia is more likely to submit Andrade than Kowalkiewicz. Gadelha is once again in line for a shot at the belt with a victory here, No doubt she could put on a clinic for the full 3 rounds building her scorecard but I think she will be looking to make a strong statement once again finding a submission before the final horn blows.
