Prediction: Not sure why this is a fight happening on the Contender Series as it fits Invicta better. Laframboise is 35 and hasn’t fought in nearly three years. She was supposed to fight on DWCS last season but withdrew after learning she was pregnant. Caliari hardly has any footage available outside her loss to Kay Hansen five years ago. She hasn’t lost since but Fight Music Show is not what you’d consider a decent promotion.
Laframboise is limited. All she has is forward pressure and a right hook. She has leaned more on her wrestling and more importantly her ground game though. She is a submission threat but her ground game as a whole is usually her off her back.
Caliari I know is a good striker who is technical and uses combinations. She lacks stopping power so she’s winning off volume. She clears Laframboise on the feet so she has to avoid getting thrown around. I like for Caliari to win minutes on the feet. She may give up a few takedowns but I think it’s Caliari having the “bigger” moments. I’ve got Caliari by decision even if I’m just barely confident.
