Why Karol Rosa Will Win

Karol Rosa will have the advantage here in having faced the better competition up to this point. While she hasn't had a stellar record and doesn't seem to be making a title run soon, getting this win over a budding prospect would do wonders for her. Rosa is good with her straight punches and could see a lot of success if Dumont doesn't tighten up her defense and move her head off the center line. She'll be at a slight disadvantage with the wrestling but can use her jab to keep Dumont from changing levels.

Rosa will have to be mindful of the takedowns in this one and use her knees up the middle. In the clinch, Rosa is the more aggressive fighter and can do more damage with her elbows. If she can stuff the takedowns and force Dumont to strike with her, Rosa should have the tools to outlast Dumont on the feet. She doesn't have a ton of power behind her shots, but throws with a ton of output. If Rosa can dictate the range, she'll take over in the striking totals.

Why Norma Dumont Will Win

Norma Dumont looked like a world-beater in her last fight against Danyelle Wolf, but it's hard to say how her skills will stack up against a top-10 fighter like Rosa. Dumont hasn't had the toughest resume, but it helps that she's been winning her fights in convincing fashion. She'll have to come into this fight with a solid game plan for the later rounds. Rosa will want to drag this one out on the feet, so Dumont should immediately look to shoot for the takedown and get to work on the ground.

Rosa is very tough to put away and Dumont certainly doesn't put a ton of power behind her punches. Since Rosa will likely try to walk Dumont down, she should look to mix her footwork and change directions when circling. If she can throw Rosa off her rhythm, it could open up some opportunities for clean takedowns. Dumont will have to be smart in conserving energy while tiring Rosa out in the wrestling exchanges.

Final Karol Rosa-Norma Dumont Prediction & Pick

This fight is extremely close, as the odds makers have it, and will most likely be taken to a decision. Its going to be a matter of which woman can impose her game plan more. Rosa should look to box at range while stuffing takedowns. Dumont should look to mix takedowns with strikes and not let Rosa settle in to a rhythm. For the prediction, we'll go with the experience of Karol Rosa to be the deciding factor. If she can keep her striking steady, she'll be able to win as the more complete fighter.

Final Karol Rosa-Norma Dumont Prediction & Pick: Karol Rosa (-105)
