Prediction
Both girls are gonna come out firing from bell to bell. As both don’t really care about striking defense, I’ll be looking for both to land a lot and for there to be some blood. The biggest factor in this fight should be the wrestling and ground game of Martin. Segni has shown her takedown defense isn’t what it should be. The Italian doesn’t do well with pressure and tends to break under pressure and Martin is all pressure. While I do think she gets it done on the mat, I think she has the advantage everywhere.
