UFC Orlando
The combat sports leader is back with a fourteen fight sprawl, and they have finally left the stuffy confines of the Apex Center. The fighters will be spurred on by the raucous crowd and it should produce a compelling fight card with a bevy of finishes.
Yazmin Jauregui vs. Istela Nunes
Fight Odds: -325 Jauregui vs. +275 Nunes
Weight Class: 115lb. (Women’s Strawweight)
Yazmin Jauregui is an impressive UFC newcomer. She notched a win over another credible prospect in Iasmin Lucindo in her UFC debut. Jauregui was supposed to fight Nunes in her debut, but an injury forced Nunes off the card and Lucindo stepped in on short notice and made a solid account of herself. Jauregui has now had multiple training camps preparing for this opponent and I believe she is the more talented fighter with heavier hands, superior grappling, and more paths to victory. I think Jauregui can outlast Nunes, land with more impact, and secure her first UFC finish. Nunes needs this win to advance her career, but I expect her to struggle.
