A top 15 Women’s Strawweight matchup is taking place on the UFC 319 Prelims. Former Champion No. 5 Jessica Andrade is taking on No. 11 Loopy Godinez in a three-round bout.
Here is my best bet for Jessica Andrade vs. Loopy Godinez on the Prelims at UFC 319.
Jessica Andrade Moneyline (+120)
Both competitors have a lot at stake in this bout. The former Champion, Andrade, is coming off two losses while Godinez recently defeated Julia Polastri in March. Although Andrade is on a two-fight skid, she has a lot of advantages in this matchup.
Andrade is a +120 underdog while Godinez is a -142 favorite in this fight on DraftKings Sportsbook. On the feet, Andrade is a much better striker, landing 2.11 more significant strikes per minute. Also on the ground, Andrade has a higher takedown accuracy with a 71 percent takedown defensive rate.
Godinez averages more takedowns per 15 minutes (3.12 vs. 2.21), but she could struggle to take advantage on the ground since Andrade doesn’t get taken down often. If Andrade makes this a striking battle, she has a great chance to get back in the win column.
