Name: Kanako Murata
Opponent: Virna Jandiroba
Odds: +130 (bet $100 to win $130)
I, personally, have a lot of belief in the abilities of Murata. I think she has the potential to be a dark horse in the division and run through some of the top 10 fighters in this weight class, right now.
With that being said, this is not just a pick about her being great and is more of a pick about loving this matchup. Jandiroba is coming off a bout with a grappler in Mackenzie Dern. In that fight, it was clear that when she doesn’t have the advantage on the mat, she’s going to be in trouble. I think Murata’s wrestling background clearly will dictate where this fight takes place. So unless Jandiroba can hit a reversal, sweep or sub off of her back, I expect Murata to take a decision easily.
