UFC On ESPN: Kattar Vs. Ige Predictions

Molly McCann faltered in her debut, in which she was choked out by Gillian Anderson with ease, but since then she’s racked up a three-fight win-streak.

McCann is a meat and potatoes volume striker and does her best when she is in the pocket winging counters with the odd haymaker. She never stops throwing and it’s her constant aggression that wins her fights.

She does however struggle when she is kept at length, which Ariane Lipski was able to use effectively before being drawn into 'Meatball's' world. It’s a bad thing for Molly then that Santos has a massive six-inch reach advantage over her.

Santos was on a fifteen fight unbeaten streak before entering the UFC, but she hasn’t beaten a single fighter of note, and nine of her opponents haven't even registered a win. What she does have is power, and finished eight of her fights via strikes. In her UFC debut, she lost a tight split decision when she was constantly grabbed into the clinch by her opponent to nullify her striking.

It all depends on if Taila’s power is as impactful as her record states, as Molly will be a willing partner to stand and trade with her.

It’s an extremely tough call given how little we really know about Santos, but Molly has overcome larger women before and her pressure, combined with her granite chin, should be enough to seal the victory in another barn-burner.

Prediction: McCann Via Decision.
