Prediction
I really like both girls here as I think both are UFC-level talent. As much as I was impressed with Rose I’m confident Buys wins. Rose could take Buys down which I believe is her path to victory. With that said with Buys’ footwork and counter ability I think she just lights up Rose as she comes in. The pace and movement of Buys should be a big factor in this fight. Buys just is more well-rounded and has more ways to win.
