TEREZA BLEDA VS GABRIELLA FERNANDES LOWDOWN
Tereza Bleda (6-1) made her UFC debut in November last year with the pressure of being one of Europe’s hottest female prospects. She earnt a unanimous decision over Nayara Maia (2022) on the Contender Series to extend her perfect record. However, she received a baptism of fire getting paired with Natalie Silva (2022) eventually getting punctured and ended by a spinning back kick in the third round.
Gabriella Fernandes (8-2) also got thrown to the wolves on her debut. She was riding a seven-fight win streak having just picked up the LFA flyweight title by submitting Karoline Martins (2022). However, Jasmine Jasudavicius gave her a wrestling lesson walking away with a unanimous decision back in February.
TEREZA BLEDA VS GABRIELLA FERNANDES PREDICTION
It is hard to get a read on how much potential they have considering how tough their debuts were. Their training camps will not be too dissimilar as Bleda will be training for another high-volume striker and Fernandes will be training for another talented grappler.
Bleda will be happy to stand for longer periods of time than the Jasudavicius fight, which will work in her favour as long as she is calculated with her takedowns. If not, Fernandes will overwhelm her with her volume and be able to stuff the takedowns disheartening Bleda.
We are backing the Czech native to have improved further and land enough takedowns to convince the judges. As Fernandes is a significant underdog, she is the smart pick.
Prediction: Bleda via Decision
Value bet: Fernandes to win
