Helen Peralta, 33-years-old, 5-2

Pros

  • Good leg kicks
  • Heavy hands
  • Well-conditioned
  • Excellent clinch work
  • Physically strong
  • Improved ground game

Cons

  • TDD needs some work
  • Struggles off her back

Easily the most intimidating woman on the cast, Peralta is a problem. More of just a striker early in her career, she’s adapted quite well over time. Most of the time you will see Peralta dominate in the clinch with short shots. From time to time she’ll land takedowns and her grappling has looked good lately.

Her biggest flaw is her takedown defense but she doesn’t go down too easy. Peralta has some real power in her hands when she lets go. She’s not the most refined striker but does a fine job getting the target.
