Prediction: Kareckaite was a big disappointment when checking her out. Someone with her long frame should be better than she is. Having a kickboxing and boxing background I expected so much more. Judice is taking this fight on short notice and I don’t understand it. Judice has potential but she is nowhere close to being ready for the UFC even with an impressive win.
Even though Kareckaite is the seasoned striker Judice should be able to roll with her pressure and volume. Judice is still very raw but I do think she is a much better fighter. She should be able to simply out-strike Kareckaite to a decision.
