UFC Fight Night Predictions: Polyana Viana-Iasmin Lucindo
Best UFC Fight Night Bets: Polyana Viana vs. Iasmin Lucindo Odds
Polyana Viana: Opened +155, Now +164 | Iasmin Lucindo: Opened -190, Now -198
Viana comes from a grappling background, where she participated in Brazilian jiu-jitsu from a young age. She has a 13-5 professional record with five knockouts and eight submissions. Of her five losses, she has been submitted just one time. In the UFC, she lands 3.50 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 2.86. Viana’s ground game is OK, as she averages 0.8 takedowns per bout while defending them at 50%, and at times she will accept takedowns so she can work her own mat prowess.
Lucindo comes from a striking background, and she lands 3.97 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 3.83. She also lands 2.0 takedowns per bout and will pursue this route when she feels there is a grappling advantage. At 14-5 in her career, Lucindo has eight career knockouts and a pair of submissions. She has been knocked out once and submitted twice. It should be noted that Lucindo is still just 21 years old, giving her more time to acquire new tactics in the fight game.
This is a tricky fight to evaluate, with two fighters at different points in their careers. Lucindo has more untapped potential and also appears to have a striking advantage in this fight, along with decent grappling chops. While the -198price leaves a little to be desired, Lucindo’s ceiling makes her the preferred play in this bout.
