UFC Fight Night: Dolidze vs. Hernandez predictions
We’ll reveal one of Vithlani’s UFC Fight Night: Dolidze vs. Hernandez selections here: Joselyne Edwards (-395) to defeat Priscilla Cachoeira (+270) in a women’s bantamweight matchup on the preliminary card.
“This fight has the potential to produce fireworks but may fly under the radar,” Vithlani said. “Cachoeira is a heavy-handed puncher who can dispose of her opponents quickly. Cachoeira is 5-6 in the UFC, with three of those victories coming by first-round knockout. She is an aggressive boxer who will apply pressure early and look to make the fight nasty.
“Edwards has quietly grown up in the UFC and is now 6-4 with the promotion. She is a skilled kickboxer with strong legs and finishes many of her combinations with a kick to the body or calf. Edwards is physically strong for the 135-pound division and has used her power and physique to improve her grappling. Edwards has stopped her last two opponents inside the distance, and Cachoeira has not heard the final bell in eight out of her 11 UFC fights. I expect a violent affair in which Edwards stops Cachoeira late.” New users can also target the DraftKings promo code, which offers $200 in bonus bets instantly plus over $200 off NFL Sunday Ticket:
