JENNIFER MAIA VS MARYNA MOROZ LOWDOWN

Fighting out of Curitiba, Brazil, Jennifer Maia (19-9-1) will be looking to get back in the win column. Since losing to Valentina Shevchenko nearly two years ago, Maia has only won one fight and is coming off of back-to-back defeats to Katlyn Chookagian and Manon Fiorot. Currently 2-3 in her last five outings, Maia will need to put in a great shift this weekend in order to get the victory.

As for Maia’s opponent this weekend, Maryna Moroz (11-3) has not lost a fight in nearly five years. With that being said, since her last defeat, Moroz has only fought three times. Currently riding an impressive three-fight win streak, Moroz is coming off a submission victory over Mariya Agapova.

JENNIFER MAIA VS MARYNA MOROZ PREDICTION

Heading into this weekend’s flyweight bout, Moroz will have the advantage in both the height and reach departments.

In recent times, we have seen Maia struggling every time she faces a tall, rangier volume striker. Unfortunately for Maia, she will be heading into familiar territory again when she faces a bigger opponent. The fact that Moroz likes to mix up her attacks throughout the fight will prove to be the deciding factor this weekend. From the off, we suspect that Moroz will out work Maia wherever the fight goes to win via decision.
