A trio of new women’s bouts have been announced for upcoming events. Here are the battles, together with my first ideas on them.
Emily Whitmire vs. Amanda Ribas, UFC on ESPN 3
An intriguing women’s strawweight bout between Emily Whitmire and Amanda Ribas was scheduled for UFC on ESPN 3, taking place June 29 at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Combate broke the information. Whitmire (4-2) is 2-1 at the UFC and recently needed just 61 seconds to submit Aleksandra Albu at a breakout performance that set a UFC women’s strawweight document for quickest submission win. Ribas (6-1) was recently cleared by USADA after sitting out two years due to a tainted supplement and will look to leap back to the win column for the first time because 2016. Given the very long layoff to get Ribas and the recent success of Whitmire inside the Octagon, start looking for Whitmire for a solid betting favorite heading into this bout.
Angela Hill vs. Yan Xiaonan, UFC 238
Due to an injury to Wu Yanan, Angela Hill has agreed to step up on short notice if she chooses on Yan Xiaonan at UFC 238, that is set for June 8 at United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The news broke. Hill (9-6) recently picked up a decision win over Jodie Esquibel to snap a two-fight win series and will fight less than six months later here against Xiaonan. It’s been a busy start to 2019 for Hill, who will be battling for the third time in four weeks should she make it into this particular fight. Total Hill is 4-6 at the Octagon in two different stints with the promotion. Xiaonan (10-1, 1 NC) is riding a nine-fight unbeaten streak and is 3-0 complete in the UFC with three of her wins coming by decision. This ought to be a competitive struggle but given the level of competition she’s fought and how active she has been in 2019, anticipate Hill to be favored in this one.
Claudia Gadelha vs. Randa Markos, UFC 239
Two of the most effective female strawweights on the planet at place to meet UFC 239 as Claudia Gadelha matches Randa Markos. The card takes place July 6 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Gadelha (16-4) is astonishingly only 6-4 from the UFC and is coming from a surprising decision loss to Nina Ansaroff. Once one of the most stressed women’s strawweights on the UFC roster, Gadelha has struggled in the last few years and seems to be on the decline at age 30 as each of the wars she has been in have caught around her. Markos (9-6, 1 NC) is 5-5-1 in the UFC and recently picked up her most impressive win nonetheless, a first-round submission victory over Angela Hill. Markos has battled consistency issues within the Octagon and has yet to rack up a win series of more than 1 struggle in a row, but the victory over Hill may be a sign that she’s finally figured out things. Contemplating Gadelha consistently gets lots of respect from bettors that I really do expect her to be favored here, but Markos is a live dog in this fight.
