IASMIN LUCINDO VS BROGAN WALKER LOWDOWN

Iasmin Lucindo (13-5) heads to Vegas in search of her first UFC win. She arrived to UFC on ESPN 41 riding a seven-fight win streak which included four knockouts. That led to a date with fellow debutant Yazmin Jauregui in April last year. However, the debut did not go to plan losing a unanimous decision in the first round.

Brogan Walker-Sanchez (7-3) is also looking for her first UFC win. We first saw her on The Ultimate Fighter 30 finale at UFC on ESPN 40 back in August last year. She got there with a couple decisions but got pounded out in the third round by Juliana Miller losing via TKO.

IASMIN LUCINDO VS BROGAN WALKER PREDICTION

We have no idea why this fight is on the main card. They are not well-known and have not registered a UFC win yet. Walker is 1-3 in her last four and is the hefty underdog.

She will have a slight height and reach advantage and is a decent striker. Lucindo is also a good striker and will have the power advantage.

However, the Brazilian can also grapple and feel this will be key to victory. Walker’s takedown defence is mediocre and Lucindo has the ability to keep her pinned to the canvas to bag a couple rounds at least.
