On the night of January 15-16, the next UFC tournament starts. As part of one of the main card matches, American Kathleen Chukagyan and representative of Brazil Jennifer Maya will fight. On whose side will success be in this confrontation?
Kathleen Chukagyan (USA)
Kathleen has held 21 professional meetings. It is worth noting that she has been performing since 2014, and therefore the American can be safely called a veteran of the women's promotion. Chukagyan tries to keep the bar and accepts challenges from all fighters. Having lost in a face-to-face battle to Jessica Andrade, she was able to win two fights, defeating Calvillo and Araujo. In both cases, the "blonde" celebrated success by unanimous decision of the judges. As a rule, Kathleen is not one of those fighters who forces events in a cage. Chukagyan approaches each opponent carefully, trying to read him like a book.
Jennifer Maya (Brazil)
The Brazilian athlete is also an experienced fighter and has 19 victories and 7 battles behind her. But since 2019, she has not been able to reach a successful series, alternating victories with defeats. The South American athlete was able to cope with Joanna Wood, but lost to Valentina Shevchenko, after which she again celebrated success against Jessica Ai. Unlike her opponent, Maya moves great and never stands still. He is waiting for the perfect moment to translate the actions into the stalls, where he gives out a series of blows, finishing off his rivals.
Forecast
I think Maya is the favorite of the meeting. Over time, she became stronger and more resilient, which was shown by the meeting with Ai. The Brazilian is ready for the toughest battle with her opponent, and the experience gained during the performances will help her achieve her goal.
