Prediction: Neither of these girls are anywhere near UFC level. Huang however does have some good to high-level competition. She’s been in the cage with Dong Huaxiang, Ariane Carnelossi, Svetlana Gotsyk, Maryna Moroz, and Weili Zhang but she lost to all of them. On the other side, she has zero notable wins. In no instance should a 14-8 fighter be close to the UFC.
Motono is coming off a loss but has at least had success. She’s a former Deep strawweight champion. Like Huang, Motono has no notable wins but has losses to good fighters. I have to pick Motono because she’s a good wrestler/grappler and that’s where Huang struggles. I mean the girl has seven submission losses. My pick is Motono by second round submission.
