Zarah Fairn-Jacqueline Cavalcanti Pick and Prediction
Zarah Fairn-Jacqueline Cavalcanti Odds
Zarah Fairn: Opened +260, Now +300 | Jacqueline Cavalcanti: Opened -330, Now -400
Fairn has a 6-5 professional record. She does have four knockouts, but she has been knocked out and submitted once apiece. Fairn is a pure striker who lands 5.85 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 6.74 behind weak 48% striking defense. She has never landed a takedown in her UFC career and defends them at an alarming 50%. Fairn has only defeated two opponents with winning records, making her a major concern at this point in her career.
Cavalcanti, on the other hand, has a 5-1 professional record, though she also has just two wins over fighters with positive records. Still, she appears to have some power in her hands, with three wins by knockout on his profile. Cavalcanti also took this fight on short notice after Fairn’s original opponent pulled out. In general, it looks likely to play out as a standup affair.
This is basically a regional fight under the UFC umbrella due to the nationality of both fighters. At +300 playing the underdog makes sense, as Fairn has fought the better opponents to this point (even if she lost). This fight to go the distance at -108 is another good option.
