Prediction: This is absolutely a set-up fight for Polastri. Polastri fought two seasons ago on the Contender Series and lost to Jasmine Jasudavicius. That loss doesn’t look bad considering how Jasudavicius is doing in the UFC today. It was also a fight she never should’ve taken because she was severely undersized moving up in weight. With Alujas I don’t see any redeeming qualities. She’s outmatched in every way possible. The pick is Polastri by any way she wants.
