Shauna Bannon vs Puja Tomar Prediction

We have a fascinating fight in the women's strawweight division on the prelims the UFC London as Shauna Bannon takes on Puja Tomar.

Bannon picked up her first win in the UFC last time out and the Irish fighter will be hoping to kick on from there. She will have plenty of support on her side in London and she's going to need it against a very competitive opponent.

Tomar is riding a five-fight winning streak lost a fight since 2020 - over five years ago. Indian fighter won on her UFC debut last time out as she picked up a split decision victory over Rayanne dos Santos.

There is very little to choose between these two fighters coming into this bout and that can be seen in the bookmakers odds. Only three of Tomar’s 13 professional MMA fights have gone the distance however she is fighting a higher-calibre opponent here.

We marginally prefer Bannan to get the win with support on her side, but not enough to back her to win here. Our play in this fight is on it going the distance.

Prediction: Fight to go the distance
