Who has the advantage?
Striking: Brasil
Speed: Brasil
Output/Volume: Brasil
Kickboxing: Brasil
Striking defense: Brasil
Footwork/movement: Even
Wrestling: Mann
Grappling: Mann
More likely to finish on the mat: Mann
Gas tank: Mann
Prediction: Mann is going to have to take this fight down and the good thing for her is the glaring weakness for Brasil is takedown defense. Mann is going to be at a big disadvantage on the feet though. She’s six inches shorter and Brasil’s kickboxing and striking are really good.
Mann is way too hittable and with her lack of creative movement, Brasil should be able to pick away at Mann. There is a chance if Mann can close the distance that she will be able to plant Brasil. I think this is a step up in competition too soon for Mann as this is by far the best opponent she’s faced.
Brasil should be able to pick at Mann from a range and have the bigger moments.
