Prediction: Neither of these women does it for me. Neither are UFC level and overall are not even that exciting. There are only six finishes between eighteen wins combined. However, I will say that Wojcik is the more aggressive fighter and can draw out a scrap as she has before.

The way I’m looking at this is, Lavado is low-lever whereas Wojcik is borderline mid-tier. If you look at my pros and cons for both ladies there isn’t much to look forward to. I’m siding with Wojcik due to the fact she’s aggressive and throws more output.
